Salute to Service

Each November, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum recognizes our country’s veterans through Salute to Service, a tribute honoring those who served in the military as well as the families and communities that support them. All year long, active and retired military receive free Museum admission.

From November 7-11, 2024, we celebrated the diversity and commitment of veterans with special events including staff and volunteers marching in the NYC Veterans Day Parade; hosting the United States Navy Band Northeast Ceremonial Band Performance on the plaza; inviting the community to our public program Above & Beyond: The Air Force Response on 9/11; and the placement of yellow roses at the names of veterans killed on 9/11, with the veteran organization Team Red, White & Blue.
