INSPIRING STORY OF SERVICE
Col. Gregory Allen, U.S. Army (Retired), shares how the Special Forces motto, “De Opresso Liber,” meaning “To free the oppressed,” became a way of life for him after nearly leaving the Army. Fast forward past deployments around the world and 11 years in the National Guard, and Allen is still serving -- helping Veterans find jobs and start businesses while teaching leadership skills at his former high school.

Message from our President and CEO
I encourage each of us to look inside our hearts during this turbulent time for what we know is right.
The National Veterans Memorial and Museum was created for a unique and specific purpose: to preserve, share and celebrate the personal experiences of our nation’s Veterans. Past and present. From all branches of service. And from all eras of conflict and peacetime service.
Their stories shaped a nation. Our freedom is their legacy. Share in the celebration, and be inspired by the courage of those who served.
We are more than a museum. We are the New Home of the Brave.
