Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum Trust, Inc. has proudly unveiled a new statue dedicated to those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The life size bronze monument is titled “America’s Defenders” and features a male and a female soldier representing all who have served since 2001 in the Global War on Terrorism.
On Veterans Day, Friday, November 11th, 2022, we will begin a new era for our Memorial and our Mission by inviting all Post 9/11 Veterans of the Global War on Terrorism to join us at 6:00PM for an evening of commencement and camaraderie. With America’s Defenders front and center, the evening will convey our inspiration for the statue with a ceremony in the auditorium and a special exhibit demonstrating its creation.

This event is FREE and open to the public, but Post 9/11 Veterans are encouraged to please use the button to register.
If you wish to visit the museum earlier in the day, the building will be open all day, free of charge, in recognition of Veterans Day.
