Columbus, Georgia
The National Veterans Memorial and Museum is the only museum in the United States dedicated to honoring all veterans from all branches of service and all eras of conflict. Located on the Scioto Mile, the museum focuses on the individual stories and shared experiences of veterans, rather than military strategy or equipment.
The building itself is an architectural marvel, featuring a spiral structure that rises from the earth, symbolizing the journey of a soldier. The site includes a 2.5-acre Memorial Grove for reflection and serves as a center for education, dialogue, and remembrance.
