The triumph of a centuries-old dream for America’s Sea Services
The United States Navy Memorial, located on America’s main street at 701 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, is the triumph of a centuries-old dream for America’s Sea Services. It boasts a 230-person state-of-the-art theater frequently booked for Hollywood movie screenings and a 3,500 square-foot interactive exhibit space that immerses visitors in the rich heritage and culture of the Sea Services, making it a popular venue for Navy ceremonies and private events.
Outside the Visitor Center is a large plaza with a granite map of the world that serves as the stage for wreath-laying ceremonies, Navy Band concerts, and outdoor movie screenings, all featuring an unparalleled backdrop of the National Archives. Overlooking Memorial Plaza is the original Lone Sailor statue, which has become an iconic, nationally renowned representation of American sailors, surrounded by fountains with water from the seven seas.
The Navy Memorial’s mission is to Honor, Recognize and Celebrate the men and women of the Sea Services, past, present and future; and to inform the public about their service.
