When I first read that the National Military Monument in Washington, D.C. was set to open in July 2026, only to be closed by November without a permanent home, I felt an overwhelming sense of urgency. The thought that this significant tribute to our nation's military heroes could be dismantled entirely after such a brief period is not just troubling—it threatens to erase an important piece of our history.

The National Military Monument serves as a powerful symbol, honoring the immense sacrifices made by our brave servicemen and women across generations. It's more than just a structure; it's a place where people from all walks of life can come together to remember, reflect, and express gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy.

Unfortunately, without proper legislative action, this monument risks being dismantled and its legacy lost. We cannot allow this to happen. It's imperative that Congress steps in to secure a permanent location for the monument, ensuring its preservation for future generations.

Moreover, Washington, D.C., as our nation's capital, is the most fitting location for such a monument, keeping it at the heart of our national consciousness where it rightly belongs.

I urge you to join me in calling on our representatives to take immediate action. Securing a permanent home for the National Military Monument is a critical step in preserving our nation's heritage and honoring those who have served. Let your voice be heard. Please sign this petition to help safeguard this important piece of our history.
