Wall of Honor 

Introducing ALSA's new Wall of Honor. This visual tribute recognizes our military heroes with ALS as well as those veterans we already have lost to the disease. The Wall includes scrolling photographs of veterans from across the country to help put a face on the disease and its impact on veterans. If you are a veteran or know a veteran with ALS, we encourage you to spread the word and to join the Wall today!
