GWOMF Ally Program Press Release

momentUS Solutions Formally Joins Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation’s Johnny Micheal Spann Ally ProgramAlliance will accelerate efforts to build the National Global War on Terrorism Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C. — Today, momentUS Solutions announced that it has formally affiliated with the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation through its Johnny Micheal Spann Ally Program. Johnny Micheal “Mike” Spann was a CIA officer and former Marine who became the first American casualty in the Global War on Terrorism on November 25, 2001. On his application to join the CIA, Mike stated his commitment to action, responsibility, and leadership and personified these principles in his sacrificial devotion to the country. The Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation (GWOTMF) ally program named in honor of Spann ensures all its allies are similarly exemplifying these traits in their collaboration with the Foundation. 

“We are deeply humbled and honored to have momentUS Solutions standing tall beside us as our ally program enters a new era,” said Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation President and CEO Michael “Rod” Rodríguez. “The Foundation will continue to look to momentUS as a force multiplier for building a sacred Memorial where all who served and sacrificed in this conflict, and those impacted by it, can honor, heal, be empowered, and unite. At the same time, our Foundation knows that respect and reciprocity are the foundations of every strong alliance, and we are proud to commit to help momentUS in their essential work, as well.” 

As an ally, the organization’s participation in GWOTMF work might look different. But a commitment to action must undergird the relationship. Allies understand the importance of the Foundation’s work of honoring all who have served and sacrificed in the Global War on Terrorism, and they recognize their role in achieving this mission. 

Each ally takes their own initiative to use their networks and platforms to help educate our Nation on the legacy and impact of the Global War on Terrorism, as well as the Foundation’s mission and work. momentUS Solutions will leverage its network to expand the GWOTMF with resourcing and additional allies committed to accelerating the development of a world-class memorial. 

“We are honored to be recognized as an Ally of the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Fund,” said Chris David, Founder and CEO of momentUS Solutions. “This memorial will honor those who have stood—and continue to stand—against terror as a tool of coercion. It will pay tribute to the courage of those who served, the resilience of families who sacrificed alongside them, and the strength of societies that rallied around freedom, dignity, and peace. Just as importantly, it will encapsulate the spirit of the millions of men, women, and children whose potential has been deeply impacted, caught between opposing ideals in a conflict not of their choosing. We are proud to support GWOTMF in expanding its Ally Program and bringing this powerful vision to life.”
