The “Friends of the Imperial Brigade” 501c3 nonprofit organization was established in 2015 to support the Soldiers and Families of the 11th ADA Brigade and to promote pride in the Brigade's storied history.   

We are now raising funds ($5,000) for a unit tribute plaque that will be placed at the new National Museum of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C.  This magnificent, state-of-the-art facility will be built 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.

Since the 11th ADA Brigade has played such an important role in the history of our Army, it is only fitting that we should have a tribute plaque along the Path of Remembrance that will lead to the museum.  You can learn more here: Unit Tributes – The Campaign for the National Museum of the United States Army (armyhistory.org)

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.

To send donations via mail, please make checks out to "Friends of the Imperial Brigade."  Mail checks to: Friends of the Imperial Brigade, P.O. Box 640015, El Paso, Texas 79904.

To make credit card donations via phone, or for questions, call Samantha Chavez at the Army Historical Foundation at (703) 879-0010.

Your generous contribution will take us one step closer to making a unit plaque for the Imperial Brigade a reality.  All donations are tax deductible.

A rough rendering of the plaque is displayed below.  Once we have raised $5,000 a final design will be provided prior to fabrication.
