About the Virginia War Memorial

Through the stories of those who served, the nation’s leading state War Memorial honors Virginia’s fallen and preserves the past. The mission is at the heart of the Virginia War Memorial: to preserve the stoires of veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice, to honor all veterans and active-duty military, and to inspire love of country through education.  In the process of helping veterans find their voice and collecting and telling their stories, the Memorial also educates and inspires for the future.

During your visit, take a moving, reflective walk through the heart of the Memorial: the Shrine of Memory.

Engage directly with history through veteran-led tours, educational programs for all ages, as well as artifacts, photographs, films, oral histories, and the arts. These experiences are designed to foster understanding, connection, and a deeper appreciation of the sacrifices made by those who served.
