Thank You for Choosing the Navy Memorial for Your Veteran Group Visit

The United States Navy Memorial is happy to welcome all Service Members, Veterans, and their families. It is always a privilege to host Veteran Groups from across the country as each of you are at the center of our mission to Honor, Recognize and Celebrate the Men and women of the sea services, past, present and future; and to Inform the public about their service.

On your visit you can spend time on the Granite Sea. This large map of the world holds the original Lone Sailor Statue and is surrounded by 26 bas reliefs depicting various elements of the Sea Services. The space is perfect for eating lunch and for a group photo! Inside our Visitor Center, your group can discover exhibits on the Sea Services, including the National Chief ’s Mess, the Arleigh and Roberta Burke Theatre, and the Ship’s Store.
