"I believe that the Freedom Museum has the potential of becoming one of the premier military history education facilities in the nation, if not the world. Its location in Northern Virginia, just a few miles from our nation's capital, and its association with the Smithsonian truly has it located in the epicenter of our nation's history---educationally, militarily and politically."
Mr. Harold "Butch" Miller, Past Commander-in-Chief National American Legion

"At the Freedom Museum future generations will learn of the price their ancestors paid for the blessings of liberty they are inheriting. America needs the Freedom Museum and the civic heroes who help us build it will earn the gratitude of generations yet unborn. We need your help!"
Chuck Colgan, Jr., Vietnam Veteran

"The Freedom Museum illustrates the very spirit of the Smithsonian Affiliations Program. The museum celebrates the sacrifices and achievements of the American people and American veterans in the 20th century, and it reminds young Americans of their heritage. We are proud to welcome the Freedom Museum into the Smithsonian family."
Smithsonian Institution Secretary
