Honor an organization, an individual or group of individuals with a memorial monument along the paved trails of the Semper Fidelis Memorial Park. With over a mile of winding paths, there are many opportunities for organizations with an affinity with the Marine Corps to sponsor monuments. Sponsors take full responsibility for the cost of the monument and its installation, to include a one-time fee placed in escrow for the long-term maintenance of the monument. The precise location of any monument is dependent on the shape and size of the piece itself and the availability of installation sites. Download the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation Monument Guidelines below for more information.

A selection committee chaired by the President, Marine Corps University, considers all proposals for monuments. Anyone interested in proposing a monument should submit a concept, including dimensions, a materials list, any text to be included, name of sculptor or manufacturer, and a sketch of the finished piece.

Examples of installed monuments are shown to the right. Once a monument is approved, proposers will be directed to the Heritage Center for additional information.
