Vietnam Memorial

In the lead-up to Veterans Day, employees from NewDay USA, a national mortgage lending company serving the Veteran community, traveled to Washington, D.C. on behalf of the NewDay USA Foundation to help hand-wash the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Coordinated by the National Parks Service, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and surrounding grounds are regularly cleaned and maintained by volunteers who wish to pay tribute to the more than 58,000 servicemen and women who gave their lives during the Vietnam War. The NewDay USA Foundation has been a steadfast supporter, deploying volunteers several times a year for more than a decade to help clean the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, along with other significant memorials and sites in Washington, D.C.

"Joining our fellow citizens in honoring the service of Vietnam Veterans through this unique and very meaningful tradition is an important part of NewDay USA's mission," said Rear Admiral Tom Lynch (USN, retired), executive chairman of NewDay USA. "As a company dedicated to helping Veterans achieve the American dream of homeownership, we are humbled to participate in this effort to keep the memory of their service and sacrifice alive, especially as we commemorate Veterans Day."

For the NewDay USA Foundation, this event aligns with its long-standing commitment to support and honor the nation's service members and their families. Nearly two dozen NewDay employees and leaders, including Rear Admiral Thomas C. Lynch (USN, retired) will participate in the wall washing alongside Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund founder Jan Scruggs.

"As we approach Veterans Day, NewDay USA is honored to support our Veterans by cleaning and maintaining the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a tradition that reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who served," said Rob Posner, CEO of NewDay USA. "It's our privilege to stand alongside local community partners as we preserve and honor the legacy of our nation's heroes."

"Maintaining the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is about more than preserving a physical structure; it's about honoring the sacrifice and memory of those who served," said Jan C. Scruggs, founder of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. "Having companies like NewDay USA join in this solemn responsibility demonstrates the deep reverence our community has for the 58,276 names etched on this sacred wall."

The NewDay USA Foundation was established to improve the lives of Veterans, service members, and their families. To date, the foundation has provided more than $10 million in scholarships for children of military families and supported over $1 million in grants to hospitals and charities that serve members of the military community. NewDay USA employees have committed more than 5,000 volunteer hours in support of the foundation's important work since 2014.
