For over two decades, members of the armed forces, civilians, and their families have courageously answered the call of duty in the Global War on Terrorism. The Memorial will stand as a lasting tribute to all who have served and sacrificed in this ongoing conflict.
“One of the most glorious aspects of our Nation’s history is the fact that such selfless guardians of freedom have answered the call to serve in every generation.”
