The Gateway to the Army Association is a South Carolina non-profit corporation established to encourage patriotism by facilitating honor and respect for the Army.
Our first project is to honor Fort Jackson’s centennial in 2017 by the funding and provision of a monument and park within which to display it and within which to provide a place where those connected to Fort Jackson and Fort Jackson’s friends can congregate; conduct graduations, retirements, promotions, awards, and similar such honorific occasions; and generally meet, picnic, meditate, and enjoy life while honoring and appreciating what Fort Jackson does and has done since its inception in 1917.
The Board of Directors and the Honorary Board of Directors are volunteers dedicated to promoting patriotism, honoring history, and saluting service.
