National Dedication Ceremonial - October 24 -2026.

The Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial is a new national monument to be built at the National Mall in Washington D.C.

National Desert Storm and Desert Shield War Memorial Act - Authorizes the National Desert Storm Memorial Association to establish a commemorative work on federal land in the District of Columbia to commemorate and honor those who, as members of the Armed Forces, served on active duty in support of Operation Desert Storm or Operation Desert Shield.

Construction of the Memorial is led by the National Desert Storm Memorial Association, a 501(c)3 organization in Washington, D.C. The association is led by a Board of Directors comprised of veterans who served during Operation Desert Storm.

It might help to break up your introduction into 2 or 3 main points, so it’s easy for your readers to follow. Each paragraph or two should focus on one point.

Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm were the first major foreign crises for the United States after the end of the Cold War. The successful completion of the war was one of the swiftest in history, however, the war took the lives of many service people.

The goal of the Desert Shield AND DESERT Storm Memorial is to create an educational, meaningful and deeply moving sequential experience for visitors that:

1. Educates them about the historical events of Desert Shield and Desert Storm;

2. Identifies each of the coalition countries and illustrates the historical significance of the 34-nation coalition that united to liberate Kuwait;

3. Reflects the unique environmental and battle conditions experienced by servicemen and women in this war;

4. Leaves visitors with an enduring memory of the historical significance and accomplishments of Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
