There are more than 20 million living veterans throughout the United States, from our Greatest Generation to our recent heroes coming home from Afghanistan and Iraq.
And yet, there is no single monument or museum dedicated to the Veteran’s experience. There are institutions that focus on specific conflicts or branches of service, but there hasn’t been a place for us all to join together to celebrate and honor the sacrifice of all of our veterans, past and present...until now.
The National Veterans Memorial and Museum, officially designated by the Federal Government, opened on Saturday, October 27, 2018.

World War II Veteran Warren Eugene Bulman U.S. Army Air Corps recently visited us! Born in Alabama, he attended Purdue University. 1st Lieutenant Bulman's main assignment was flying cargo planes to resupply our troops from Burma (Myanmar) to China. He shared that flying over the Himalayan Mountain range, especially during typhoon season was a bit nerve-wracking. Upon completion of his military service, he came to Columbus, Ohio where he worked at Battelle Memorial Institute as a scientist and eventually took a position at The Ohio State University as a Professor of Electrical Engineering. Join us in thanking 1st Lieutenant Warren Bulman for his service! #NVMM Connect with our Nation's WWII Veterans: http://bit.ly/318fBSU

Today we honor our Nation's Airborne Forces. After World War I, Brigadier General William Mitchell first conceived of the idea of parachuting troops into combat. In 1940, members of the Parachute Test Platoon pioneered methods of combat jump at Fort Benning, Georgia. #NVMM #NationalAirborneDay Learn more about these brave men and women: http://bit.ly/318fBSU Photo: US National Archives
