The Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial is a national monument being constructed at the National Mall in Washington D.C. It is led by the National Desert Storm Memorial Association, a non-profit organization comprised of veterans who served during Operation Desert Storm. The Memorial aims to commemorate and honor the service and sacrifice of those who served on active duty in support of Operation Desert Storm or Operation Desert Shield.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the Memorial took place on July 14, 2022, and the goal is to dedicate the completed Memorial in 2025. The National Desert Storm Memorial Association is responsible for the construction of the Memorial, which is authorized by the National Desert Storm Memorial Act. This act allows the association to establish a commemorative work on federal land in the District of Columbia. Through fundraising activities and donations, the association is working towards the completion of this significant tribute to the veterans of Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
