The time has come…to give a voice to ALL of America’s Veterans. To hear their stories. To honor their service. To remember their sacrifice.

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. Come 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.
