Over the past couple of weeks, it’s become clear that the mission of The National WWII Museum is more important now than ever. We have relevant stories, artifacts, and lessons to share as we all come together to face this crisis as a nation.

WWII Veteran, Pioneering Marine, Museum volunteer

Frances Skiba Hoffmann, a WWII veteran and one of the first members of the Marine Corps Women's Reserve, died last week in New Orleans at age 96 of COVID-19. She was a beloved member of our Museum family.

We realize you can’t come to visit us at the moment, so we’re bringing The National WWII Museum experience to you in a way we’ve never done before.

With the onset of COVID-19, the American public is facing an invisible enemy that is changing whole aspects of our lives.

At America’s National World War II Museum, we have always looked to our collections and galleries to find sources of inspiration and leadership: from everyday citizens doing their part to help defeat a common enemy to frontline leaders making tough decisions and personal sacrifices in the face of unprecedented challenges.
