The National Military Monument

250 years ago, a new nation was born from the belief that freedom and opportunity belonged to the people. And, if necessary, was worth fighting for. Since then, more than 41 million men and women have answered the call to defend our freedom. This monument honors them. Standing tall in Washington, D.C., The National Military Monument™ is a living tribute to the generations of military members whose service and sacrifice made this historic milestone possible for our country.
