Complete the form below to nominate a Louisiana-area WWII veteran to receive one of our thank-you notes! Deadline to submit a veteran is October 20, 2017.

The National WWII Museum President & CEO awards the Silver Service Medallion to veterans, and those with a direct connection to World War II, who have served our country with distinction and continue to lead by example.
