The National Veterans Memorial And Museum

Located in Columbus, Ohio, The National Veterans Memorial and Museum began with a vision from the late Senator John Glenn (1921-2016), Colonel, USMC (Retired), who understood the pressing need to carefully preserve not only the names, dates, and battles but the intimate memories, personal belongings and painful losses of our nation's veterans. His vision is now the guiding principle for the institution he inspired. Our four foundational pillars are: - Honor: Americans’ contributions to our country through military service - Connect: Civilians with veterans and their experience - Inspire: Visitors to serve their community and nation as active engaged citizens - Educate: schoolchildren and the public-at-large about the history and value of service. The National Veterans Memorial and Museum is the first museum in history to honor all the courageous men and women who answered the call of our country. Hear their stories. Honor their service.
