The Premise of our Tributes.

The original AWON Website (vintage 1995) was established specifically to convey these Tributes.

The premise of our collection is that our Fathers are now a profound presence in our lives, and among our highest ambitions in AWON is to remember and honor these men to the best of our ability ~ before we leave the building ourselves. Tributes are a personal and fundamental way to do that. And for all involved, it’s a solemn honor. Doing a Father Tribute is a often a bucket-level choice for those who want to derive maximum benefit from Membership.

Here’s why: We never have and never will remove a Tribute from the group. Once it’s completed and on the AWON Website, it will never be removed.

These Remembrances will continue . . . as long as AWON maintains a Website on the internet.

AWON Tribute Options are changing . . .

Standard Tributes are provided with a current AWON Membership. Advanced Tributes of a larger size and complexity are provided for current Board Members and Key AWON Volunteers. Current Members of AWON who have done a Standard Tribute may elect to develop an Advanced Tribute, for which a Donation is encouraged, and for which there is a waiting list. New Members starting in 2021 will have the option of developing a Standard Tribute (with Standard Dues) or (with a Donation) an Advanced Tribute. Donations may include negotiable Volunteer hours toward an approved AWON cause or initiative.

Be aware that due to the research and complexities (and additional approvals) that are often required for Advanced Tributes . . . this may take some time.

Visit them often.

We encourage you to visit our collection of more than 200 Tributes . . . to the men (A to Z) . . . who did the heavy lifting in WWII.
