A special cheers and thank you to the Honor Brewing Company team for their continued support of The Army Historical Foundation and the National Museum of the United States Army! 🍻 🇺🇸

AHF was proud to be part of Honor Brewing’s Charity Tap Program this summer, and we’re incredibly grateful for the generosity, friendship, and shared commitment to honoring those who serve.

This week's visit made the partnership even more meaningful as we had the opportunity to show the Honor Brewing team their commemorative brick on the Museum grounds—a lasting reminder of their support for our mission and Army history.

And, of course, thank you for bringing along some of your latest Oktoberfest brew for the staff to enjoy!

Cheers to great partnerships, shared missions, and making a difference together. 🍺

Our Mission Continues…

As the official fundraising organization for the National Museum of the United States Army, The Army Historical Foundation, together with donors like you and a dedicated community of supporters, led the Capital Campaign that turned a shared vision into an award-winning national institution.

Today, the Museum is thriving, welcoming thousands of visitors, sharing the American Soldier’s story, and honoring all who have served since the Army’s founding in 1775.

While the building is complete, our work is not.

Your renewed support will help us address the remaining construction obligation while also providing the resources needed to expand educational opportunities, enhance the Museum’s exhibitions, and build upon popular community events.

You helped make the Museum possible.

Now, we ask you to stand with us again and help continue its mission forward.
