To honor those Californians who have laid down their lives during the Global<br />

War on Terrorism, the California State Military Museum has built a “Global War<br />

on Terrorism Wall of Honor.” Constructed of black granite, this memorial is<br />

located at the entrance of the museum. The names of service members who died<br />

September 11, 2001, in the attack on the Pentagon, as well as those casualties<br />

of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are listed chronologically. The memorial<br />

includes their rank, branch of service, and age.<br />

For more information regarding museum hours of operation, go to<br />

CALIFORNIA VETERANS<br />

MEMORIAL REGISTRY<br />

The California <strong>Veteran</strong>s Memorial Registry (CVMR) is a permanent record to honor<br />

California veterans, past and present, who have served our nation since statehood<br />

was established in 1850. Whether a cook or fighter pilot, mechanic or chief of<br />

staff, this memorial honors our veterans. The CVMR forever immortalizes the<br />

contributions that California veterans have made to their nation.<br />

In addition to being available on the CalVet website, www.calvet.ca.gov, the<br />

CVMR is installed in a video kiosk at the California Military Museum. Using a touch<br />

screen, users are able to access specific information about California veterans<br />

and the manner in which they served.
