We are now accepting student artwork submissions for the Third Annual Armed Forces Day Art Contest.
This year’s theme is “Bravery and Courage”
Through the stories of those who served, the nation’s leading state War Memorial honors Virginia’s fallen and preserves the past. In the process of helping veterans find their voice and collecting and telling their stories, the Memorial also educates and inspires for the future.
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.
We are planning a new exhibition featuring 50 of Virginia’s Vietnam War veterans. We plan to feature candid photos of 50 veterans during their time in Vietnam alongside professional portraits of those same veterans today–50 years beyond.
We are asking that veterans and their family members to be part of the Virginia War Memorial’s effort to acknowledge and honor our Vietnam Veterans by submitting photographs taken during their military service while in Vietnam.
Get involved in a wide variety of patriotic ceremonies, educational programs, arts events, and fundraisers. Check back for updates or CLICK HERE to receive regular emails about War Memorial happenings.
