Become one of 2,026 Charter Founders of the American Veteran Vault — a permanent archive for veteran stories from every era of service. Your story. Your voice. Your legacy — while you're here to tell it.
Vietnam · Desert Storm · Iraq · Afghanistan · Post-9/11 · Every chapter of service
No ambiguity. This is what every Charter Founding Member receives at the $249 tier.
A unique number — #0001 through #1776 — assigned in the order memberships are claimed. Yours permanently. Never reassigned. The lower your number, the earlier you joined the founding.
A minted coin produced specifically for America's 250th Anniversary and the founding of the Vault. Your Founder Number is on the reverse. Minted once. Not available after July 4, 2026.
Your name, Founder Number, and enrollment date recorded permanently in the American Veteran Vault Founders Registry — the official founding record of the institution.
A formal digital certificate issued at enrollment, dated July 4, 2026. Documents your Founder Number and your place in the founding record. (Legacy Founders receive a framed, signed print.)
Charter Founders gain access to the American Veteran Vault archive before public launch — including early story submission, Wall of Gratitude priority, and founding-era recognition.
All Charter Founders are formally recognized on July 4, 2026 as the people who made the institution possible. The founding record is sealed and archived permanently on this date.
The Founder Coin is not merchandise. It is the physical record that you were among the 2,026 people who established the American Veteran Vault at America's 250th Anniversary.
A coin minted for a founding moment carries different weight than a coin minted for a sale. This coin exists because founding a permanent national institution at a once-in-a-generation anniversary creates a credible reason for a lasting physical record.
Placeholder renders only. The final Founder Coin design will be revealed before the July 4, 2026 launch. Charter Founders will receive final design specifications before minting.
Every Charter Founding Membership goes directly toward building the American Veteran Vault. Here is what the campaign funds.
The web platform where veterans, families, caregivers, and supporters submit stories in video, written, or audio format. Each submission receives a permanent archive page — searchable, shareable, and preserved.
Editorial review, production support, and publication of the first wave of founding-era stories. Veterans from Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan, and post-9/11 service submitting before July 4 receive founding-era priority.
Design, minting, quality control, and fulfillment of the commemorative Founder Coin for all Charter Founder and Legacy Founder members. The coin ships after final production in Q4 2026.
Charter Founding is permanently limited to 2,026 members — a number tied directly to the year America turns 250. After July 4, 2026, the Founders Registry closes. It will not reopen.
Three tiers. One founding. The Registry closes July 4, 2026. After that date, Charter Founding is no longer available.
If the American Veteran Vault archive does not launch by July 4, 2026, you are entitled to a full refund within 30 days. Contact founders@veteranchannel.com.
The Founder Coin mints after the close of the campaign on July 4, 2026 and ships Q4 2026. Charter Founder and Legacy Founder members will receive shipping confirmation by email.
