The billboard message reads:

1.4 Million American Men Have Died Defending Our Nation.
Remembering Men's Sacrifices
Memorial Day 2026

For over two centuries, the defense of the United States has relied heavily on the service and sacrifice of men. More than one million American service members have died in wartime, with the overwhelming majority being men. Millions more have returned home with lifelong physical disabilities or psychological trauma as a result of combat.

The NCFM Chicago Chapter's campaign seeks to bring greater public awareness to this historical reality and to ensure that the contributions of men are recognized alongside the broader observance of Memorial Day.

"Memorial Day is a time to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country," said a spokesperson for the Chicago Chapter of NCFM. "This campaign highlights the scale of that sacrifice and encourages reflection on the role men have played in defending our nation."

Men die not only to defend our country, but also to protect women and children. The billboard campaign for this Memorial Day sheds light on the truth about men's experiences.

Men are disposable while women are protected. This disadvantage is often overlooked in discussions about gender equality, and men suffer for it.
