Beyond Tribute and the Eleven Eleven Campaign are in the running to win a $250,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project — a grant that will make a profound difference in the lives of our veterans. But we need to reach the Top 100 by April 30th — and we need your help to do that. Click here to take action and vote for Beyond Tribute in the Pepsi Refresh Project.

What does Memorial Day mean to you?

For many people, Memorial Day means good sales at the mall or the auto dealer.

But Memorial Day means more than that. In the video above, Edie Meeks (1st Lt. Army Nurse Corps, Vietnam 1968-1970) reflects on who she remembers on Memorial Day.

And here at Beyond Tribute’s Eleven Eleven Campaign, our goal is to transform our national veterans holidays by raising money to actually help our veterans and their families.

Can you take just a moment right now to help change the way America honors its veterans on Memorial Day and Veterans Day?

All it takes is a few clicks:

  1. Go to www.RefreshEverything.com/BeyondTribute and vote for Beyond Tribute’s grant proposal in the Pepsi Refresh Project.
  2. Then click on one of the icons under SHARE OUR PROJECT and help spread the word. If you have a blog or webpage, please consider adding a widget to your site.
  3. Help get the word out by sharing the video above on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and other online communities.

Please also consider making a donation to the Eleven Eleven Campaign today — and help us actually help vets on Veterans and Memorial Days and beyond.
