One of the highest priorities of the Army Engineer Association (AEA) is to recognize all Army engineers who have given their lives in the defense of the United States of America.  Equally important is to recognize those engineers who received wounds in combat resulting in the award of the Purple Heart.  AEA is accepting donations for the maintenance of the Memorial Wall for Fallen Engineers unveiled at the Sapper Grove at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri — home of the Army Engineer Regiment — during the ENFORCE 2011 conference.  Click here to learn more about the Memorial Wall.

If you’ll be driving to our next reunion in Branson, MO, the memorial isn’t all that far away.  You might want to take some time to stop by and pay your respects.
