The National Army Museum will be the first museum dedicated to telling the entire storied history of the U.S. Army. The National Army Museum will be the first museumto tell the entire storied history of the nation’s oldest and largest military service. Interactive galleries will educate visitors on the Army’s role in timesof war and peace, the relationship between the Armyand the nation it serves, and the Army’s contributions to geography, science, technology, engineering and math. By supporting the museum, Army units, alumni groups, and military and veteran associations of all kinds can have their efforts permanently honored in the Veterans’ Hall, a space within the museum that will host official functions and showcase pieces of the Army’s collection of combat artwork andartifacts. Sponsoring organizations will have their names permanently displayed in the Veterans’ Hall. Groups offering higher levels of support will have enhanced access to the Hall, receive invitations to campaign events, and get person- alized tours of the museum. In addition, the Foundationcollects stories of soldiers and veterans through the Registry of the American Soldier. This electronic database is open to anyone who served in the U.S. Army.
