The National Cemetery Administration (NCA) invites you to help Veterans preserve their legacy through the Veterans Legacy Memorial (VLM) and its new Living Veterans feature. Help Veterans Share Their Stories VLM is the nation’s largest digital platform honoring more than 10 million Veterans, and the new Living Veterans feature allows Veterans to capture their military and life experiences today, ensuring their stories are remembered forever. Veterans who complete the pre-need eligibility application and are approved can create their own Living Veterans profile page to tell their stories, in their own words.
