Tuesday evening brought another night of Navy music to the heart of Washington, D.C. ⚓🎶 Hosted by Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy John Perryman, the evening included a special invitation from him to members of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard, who so often help make events at the Navy Memorial possible, to trade their ceremonial duties for a seat in the audience and simply enjoy the music.

While this marked the final Concerts on the Avenue with the full United States Navy Band the music isn’t over yet! We still have THREE more evenings of live music at the Navy Memorial featuring U.S. Navy Band .

Stay tuned for what’s next, and join us on the Memorial Plaza for three more summer evenings of Navy music!

The rain may have moved us indoors, but it certainly didn’t stop the show! This week’s Concert on the Avenue moved into our historic Burke Theatre, where the United States Navy Band Sea Chanters delivered an incredible performance! We were honored to have Rear Admiral Richard Lofgren, Acting Chief of Navy Reserve host the evening and join us in welcoming guests for another memorable night of Navy music and community at the United States Navy Memorial.

Join us in wishing Vice Admiral (Ret.) John Nowell a very Happy Birthday!🎉

What do you get the Admiral who already had a 38-year Navy career for his birthday? Apparently…a few more career options.

For his birthday, we put our President & CEO to the test with our interactive Strike Group Exhibit - Achieve - that matches visitors with Navy careers based on their interests and personality — and then uses AI to show them in the role.

The results did not disappoint.

Swipe to see what the Navy Memorial’s own Achieve experience thinks Admiral Nowell should try next. ➡️

From his decades of service in uniform to his leadership today at the United States Navy Memorial, we’re grateful for everything Admiral Nowell does to honor, recognize and celebrate our Sea Service community. ⚓

Every Sailor has a story. Make sure yours is part of ours. ⚓

The Navy Log is the nation’s permanent registry of Sea Service members and veterans — preserving the names, service and stories of those who have served.

Whether you served for four years or forty, your service belongs in the Navy Log.

Add your name, honor a Shipmate or search for someone who served.
