Our Story

The Justice Fisher Project was inspired by the powerful story shared in Service to My Country by Steven O’Brien, a Navy Corpsman who served alongside United States Marines during the Vietnam War. Through his firsthand account of war, sacrifice, brotherhood, and loss, Mr. O’Brien’s story became a reminder that the impact of military service extends far beyond the battlefield and continues through the memories carried by those who served together.

The project’s name honors two Marines who lost their lives during Steven O’Brien’s time in Vietnam — Don Justice and Arthur Fisher. Their sacrifice, along with the sacrifices made by countless veterans throughout history, serves as the foundation of this initiative.

The Justice Fisher Project was created to preserve the memory, dignity, and stories of veterans through community involvement and gravesite adoption. What began as a desire to honor two fallen Marines has grown into a mission focused on ensuring that no veteran is ever forgotten.

By connecting fellow veterans, families, volunteers, students, and local communities with the gravesites and stories of those who served, the project aims to create lasting connections between generations while preserving local military history for the future.

Every flag placed, every stone cleaned, and every name remembered is an act of gratitude — not only for Don Justice and Arthur Fisher, but for all veterans who answered the call to serve
