Military Display With 41 Million Names Through Veterans Day
20th August 2026
A temporary monument displaying the names of more than 41 million Americans who have served in the U.S. military will remain on the National Mall through Nov. 12 following an overwhelming response from visitors.
The National Military Monument, presented by the United Services Automobile Association, or USAA, opened July 28 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
USAA announced Tuesday that the National Park Service had approved a 10-week extension of the installation, which had been scheduled to close in early September.
