 "...we
have, in this
country, an immense reservoir of such men and women--anxious to sacrifice their
energies and time and toil to the cause of world peace and human progress."
~ J.F.K., March 1, 1961.
Since the Peace Corps began in 1961, more than 180,000
Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 137 countries. Of these dedicated
men and women, 271 have sacrificed not only their energies and time, but also
their lives while pursuing the Peace Corps mission. They are remembered
here on this site, so that all may honor and celebrate their lives and service.

Our Mission
- First, to celebrate the lives and service of fallen Peace Corps volunteers
and staff through the creation of an Internet Memorial. We hope to
eventually include stories and pictures of every volunteer or staff
person whose family
members or friends would like to share them.
- To create a network of support for the families and friends of fallen PCVs
and staff.
We would like to aid willing individuals and families in connecting with
each other.
- To ultimately raise funds to establish or aid in the
establishment of a permanent, physical memorial
honoring each Peace Corps volunteer or staff person who has died while in service.
