Memorial Watch · A 3Brains app

In honor and
remembrance.

Veterans we knew. Friends and family who served. Memorial Watch searches the official record of those interred in our national veteran cemeteries — so you can find where they rest, and remember them on your own terms.

Honor. Sacrifice. Service.

How it works.

i.

Start with a name.

Enter a veteran's name to search the VA's Nationwide Gravesite Locator and find their resting place.

ii.

See where they rest.

View their cemetery, branch of service, rank, and war — alongside the official Veterans Legacy Memorial if one exists.

iii.

Save who matters.

Save anyone you'd like to remember to your Memorial Watchlist. It stays on your phone — private, personal, and yours.

A quick tour.

Memorial Watch is built around official VA records. No advertising, no paywalls, no engagement bait — just dignified answers from the public record, and a quiet way to honor those who served.

Memorial Watch — Search result
Find them in seconds

A clear answer, right away.

Type a name and Memorial Watch searches the VA's Nationwide Gravesite Locator — the official record of veterans interred in our national veteran cemeteries — and shows you where they rest.

Memorial Watch — Cemetery and service detail
See the service

Branch, rank, war, and where they rest.

Each result shows the veteran's service details alongside their cemetery — with address, phone, and family interments listed where applicable. So you can visit, pay respects, or simply know.

Memorial Watch — Veterans Legacy Memorial integration
Tributes and mementos

Honored through the Veterans Legacy Memorial.

When a Veterans Legacy Memorial page exists, Memorial Watch retrieves it so you can see tributes, mementos, and historical documents posted by family and fellow servicemembers. One tap takes you to the official VLM page.

Put Memorial Watch on your phone.

Or just try it now — open it in your browser:

Open Memorial Watch

Memorial Watch is a web app — it installs in one tap, with no app store needed. Once installed, it has its own icon on your home screen and runs full-screen, just like any other app.

iPhone & iPad Safari

  1. Open memorialwatch.app in Safari (not Chrome — Apple only allows installs from Safari).
  2. Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow pointing up — at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Scroll down in the share menu and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Tap Add in the top-right corner. That's it.

The Memorial Watch icon will appear on your home screen next to your other apps. Tap it any time to launch.

Android Chrome

  1. Open memorialwatch.app in Chrome.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
  3. Tap Install app — or Add to Home Screen, depending on your version of Chrome.
  4. Tap Install. That's it.

Some versions of Chrome show an automatic install banner at the bottom of the page — you can use that instead if you'd like.

Already on your phone? Just open it.

A few honest questions.

Where does the information come from?
Memorial Watch is built on official VA sources — the Nationwide Gravesite Locator and the Veterans Legacy Memorial. Both are public records, published by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. We don't scrape social media, and we don't access anything that isn't already public.
Is Memorial Watch affiliated with the VA?
No. Memorial Watch is an independent application not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. We don't represent, endorse, or speak for any government agency. We just present the public record in a way that's easier to search and remember.
Does it cost anything?
No. Memorial Watch is free to use. It is offered as a contribution to the families of those who served, out of respect for their loss. No ads, no paywalls, no subscriptions.
What if I can't find a veteran I'm looking for?
The Nationwide Gravesite Locator only includes veterans interred in our national veteran cemeteries. If your veteran was buried in a state, private, or family cemetery — or if their record uses a different spelling — they may not appear. Memorial Watch automatically catches small typos (e.g. "Normal" finds "Norman"), and you can refine results with a middle name or birth year.
Where do my saved memorials live?
On your phone. Memorial Watch keeps your saved memorials in your browser's local storage — they are never sent to any server, and we cannot see them. If you clear your browser's storage or switch devices, you'll need to re-save them.
Is Memorial Watch in the App Store?
Not yet. Memorial Watch is currently available as a web app — you can install it directly to your phone's home screen in one tap (see the install instructions above), and it behaves like any other app once installed.
