The 100 Cities/100 Memorials fund-matching program is an initiative of the World War I Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum & Library that encourages groups across the country to take on the projects of restoring and preserving World War I memorials. The commission is encouraging organizations to plan public events for April 6, the date in 1917 that the United States officially entered the war. For more information, visit the WWI Centennial Commission website.
