World’s preeminent sports entertainment
organization joins the Mission to Inspire America
The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation (NMOHMF) today
announced an official multi-year partnership with WWE (NYSE: WWE).
As part of the partnership, WWE will help the Museum compellingly
tell the heroic stories of the recipients of the nation’s highest
award for valor in combat – the Medal of Honor – while supporting
the overall mission to build a Museum in Arlington, TX, and a
Monument in Washington, DC, in recognition of the values the Medal
represents: courage and sacrifice, commitment and integrity,
citizenship and patriotism.
The partnership kicks off today at the special WrestleMania
On-Sale Party at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Medal of Honor recipient and NMOHMF board member Major General Pat
Brady (ret.) will be honored by WWE at the event. In addition, for
every WrestleMania souvenir ticket issued at the party, $1 will go
to support NMOHMF. The partnership will also be featured on WWE
programming, including during WWE’s Tribute to the Troops special
airing this Sunday, November 14 on FOX, where WWE will spotlight
legendary Medal of Honor recipient Woody Williams – the last living
recipient from World War II – in partnership with NMOHMF.
WWE and their larger-than-life Superstars are expert
storytellers who will help bring the incredible feats of Medal of
Honor recipients to life, reaching their global audience of
passionate fans and beyond. Their ability to put a massive
spotlight on the service and sacrifice of America’s bravest heroes
will give the project new visibility and expand its profile among
WWE fans.
“The great patriots and amazing entertainers of WWE will be
tremendous partners in making the NMOHM a reality,” said Maj.
Gen. Brady. “Together, our organizations can teach the nation
about the importance of service and sacrifice in a new and
entertaining way, inspiring young Americans to give back to the
country that has given us all so much.”
“We are thrilled to partner with WWE and their incredible roster
of talent. WWE has long been committed to our nation’s military
veterans, and through this partnership with NMOHMF, will help unify
the country around this important project aimed at giving all those
who served the recognition they deserve,” said NMOHMF Chairman
of the Board Charlotte Jones.
“On behalf of WWE, we are honored to partner with the National
Medal of Honor Museum Foundation and help shine a spotlight on
these incredible heroes,” said WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie
McMahon. “The museum will leave a lasting legacy not only in
the Dallas and Arlington communities, but across the entire
country.”
To be located in Arlington, TX, the Museum will pay tribute to
the Medal of Honor and the fewer than 4,000 individuals who have
earned our nation’s highest military award, representing every
branch of the U.S. Armed Forces across every major conflict since
the Civil War. State-of-the-art exhibits and a dedicated Leadership
Institute will allow Americans of all ages, and from all walks of
life, to reflect on values the Medal represents and the tremendous
impact of all U.S. military servicemembers and veterans.
Groundbreaking on the Museum is expected in early 2022.
About the Museum and Monument: The National Medal of
Honor Museum, Monument and Leadership Institute will inspire
Americans by honoring and preserving the history of the highest
military decoration awarded for valor in combat. Serving as a
national landmark – and located in America’s heartland in
Arlington, Texas – the Museum will provide an unrivaled visitor
experience and illustrate the historical thread of sacrifice,
patriotism and courage that runs through all U.S. military service
members, past and present. Beyond its state-of-the-art, interactive
experiences, a critical part of the Museum’s mission will be to use
the stories of Medal of Honor recipients to inspire their fellow
Americans and motivate them to be their best selves.
A National Monument in Washington, D.C., will commemorate the
service and sacrifice of the bravest and most decorated members of
the U.S. Armed Forces. To be located in the nation’s capital, it
will give all Americans the opportunity to reflect on the courage
and patriotism that safeguard freedom and democracy.
