The Summit Project is a nationally recognized, Maine based, 501(c)3 service organization, and a living memorial that pays tribute to the fallen service members from Maine who have died in the line of duty since September 11, 2001. We have fundamentally changed the way we honor OUR post 9/11 fallen heroes from Maine. We are guided by our mission statement: The mission of The Summit Project is to honor our state’s newest war casualties and the faithful spirit of all Mainers. The Summit Project inspires service, strengthens communities and changes lives. It reinforces the values that all Mainers hold dear – we look after one another, we remember one another, we make sacrifices for one another, we are faithful to each other and we lift each other to higher places, both literally and figuratively.
