The 249th Engineer Battalion is one of the proudest units in the United States Army and is especially deserving of significant recognition in the National Museum of the United States Army (NMUSA) with a granite plaque.  

Whether you are a 249th Engineer Battalion Veteran of World War II, the Cold War, Desert Storm, or the Global Wars of Terrorism, this is your opportunity to be a part of an effort that commemorates your dedication to duty, your sacrifices, and to always remember those in the battalion who paid the last full measure of devotion. 

For those who wish to provide a right and fitting gift during Veterans Day (for those who served), Armed Forces Day (for those currently serving) or Memorial (those who fell in service), this is a tremendously fitting opportunity.

Measuring 12” (w) x 18” (h) and engraved in polished Mesabi Black granite, individual Unit Tributes will line the Path of Remembrance leading to the Museum.

 

Such a Unit Tribute represents a unique and fantastic opportunity to honor our friends & forebears, those citizen-soldiers who answered our nation's call in its time of need through service in the 249th Engineer Battalion.  As each Unit Tribute requires a $5,000 charitable donation toward Museum construction, we need YOUR help to bring this to reality.

Please help the 249th Engineer Battalion be permanent part of this museum -- a magnificent state-of-the-art facility will be built as a national landmark to honor America’s Soldiers, preserve the history of America’s oldest military branch, and educate all Americans about the Army’s role in our nation’s development.

The National Museum of the U.S. Army will serve as the capstone of the Army Museum System and provide the only comprehensive portrayal of Army history and traditions. The Museum will celebrate the selfless service and sacrifice of over 30 million men and women who have worn the Army uniform since 1775.

We need everyone's help to do it. Including you.

Your contribution will take us one step closer to making our Unit's plaque a reality.

Colonel Paul B. Olsen (U.S. Army Retired), Former Battalion Commander
