The late Albert Covelli, who was a native of Kenosha, Wisconsin, launched an open-air market just after returning home from his time in the military during World War II. Soon after, he expanded to three locations and added a produce company. It didn’t take long for him to begin selling to big customers, including Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s fast-food restaurants. Kroc and Covelli shared the same vision regarding the need for quality and top-notch service. Soon after Covelli opened the first McDonald’s Restaurant in Warren, Ohio, where Covelli Enterprises is headquartered today. Albert Covelli, who passed away in 2014, set high standards for his son, Sam, who leads the company today. Sam and Albert Covelli spent decades working together and grew Covelli Enterprises into one of the nation’s most respected, philanthropic, and well-run restaurant-focused companies in the country.
There is only one Museum in America that honors ALL Veterans – from all branches of service, and from all eras of our nation’s proud history of military service, both in peacetime and war. The National Veterans Memorial and Museum is a powerful and personal experience designed to give a voice to every man and woman who answered the call for our country.
This is neither a war memorial nor a military museum. The National Veterans Memorial and Museum takes visitors on a narrative journey telling individual stories and shared experiences of Veterans in their own words.
