New Navy Museum planned

The Navy unveiled five concepts recently to replace its aging museum in Navy Yard in Washington, DC. Designs include fighter jets dangling from the ceilings, tall sails rising from the floor, and ample outdoor green space. These artistic con-cepts were produced for the Navy to help explore the full range of potential ideas that might be incorporated into a new museum. The new 270,000-square-foot mu-seum campus will include a new building, 100,000 square feet of gallery space, a ceremonial courtyard, and a marque gallery space. The timing of the museum is still to be determined because the location isn’t yet set in stone. Note: See lists of many other Navy museums.

The American Battle Monuments Foundation (ABMF)

The American Battle Monuments Foundation (ABMF) is the official, non-profit partner of the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC.) ABMC is the 100-yearold U.S. federal agency charged with maintenance and management of all 26 American military cemeteries and 32 monuments overseas. More than 218,000 American servicemembers are buried or memorialized (remains missing) at these hallowed grounds. Americans who fought and died made the ultimate sac-rifice for our freedoms. Among our several programs, ABMF engages younger generations to understand the relevance of that sacrifice to their lives.
