A Message from Madison Miner, founder of Soldier Tributes

   SoldierTributes.com started because I felt there should be an easy way to let family and friends celebrate each other's lives while sharing stories and preserving memories.

        I was working as a Software Engineer when a close friend of my employer passed away. As a Japanese native, many of his close friends were unable to attend his service in the United States. My employer wanted all of his family and friends to have an opportunity to contribute and share memories. After looking around the Internet for such a service, he was disappointed to find costs of such services to be exorbitant and benefits insufficient. He asked if I would make a website where the memory of his friend could live on, a website where anybody in the world could view the tribute, add testimonials, and pictures.

       After the site was posted, I was amazed with how many people benefited from it. Friends in Japan were able to reconnect with friends in the U.S. Stories and pictures transcended country boarders, spanned oceans and thousands of miles. Watching the success of the site and knowing the pain of losing someone first hand, I wanted to create a site entirely devoted to tributes. Thus the inception of  Soldier Tributes.

        I sincerely hope that SoldierTributes.com can help people celebrate the lives of loved ones, as well as preserve those legacies for years to come.
