In 2013, Congress passed legislation authorizing the NMAI to create a National Native American Veterans Memorial to give "all Americans the opportunity to learn of the proud and courageous tradition of service of Native Americans in the Armed Forces of the United States." Today, the National Native American Veterans Memorial is an interactive and intimate space designed to honor Native American veterans and their families. This tribute is the first national recognition of Native Americans in all branches of the United States military, and it also serves as a gathering space for Native American veterans and their families, as well as an educational space for the public.
GRoW is honored to support the National Museum of the American Indian.
