Mission

The War Memorial Center in Milwaukee is a stunning lakefront facility that pays tribute to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice defending freedom, while remembering and sharing the personal experiences and sacrifices of all veterans and their families. Enthusiastically supported by an engaged community, the facility has a collection of permanent, rotating and visiting exhibits of patriotic, military and war-related themes that connect citizens with veterans and their experiences. It is a place to teach our youth and adults about the importance of national service and provide an oasis for veterans in need of assistance.
