Valor and Victory Documentary at the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington

The National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, which opened its doors to the public six months ago in March 2025, announced a slate of events this fall as part of its inaugural year.

From a documentary premiere giving a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the Museum to an inspiring keynote event featuring General Stanley McChrystal and the Museum’s first-ever Star Spangled Soirée, these programs bring to the fore the values of courage, sacrifice, integrity, commitment, citizenship, and patriotism embodied by the Medal of Honor.

“The Museum’s inaugural year has been about more than opening doors. It’s about opening hearts and minds to the values the Medal of Honor represents,” said Chris Cassidy, NMOHMF President and CEO. “These events give us the opportunity to honor and reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who have earned our nation’s highest military award for valor. These stories, conversations, and celebrations give us the chance to preserve their legacies while inspiring Americans of all walks of life to live by those same values.”

The upcoming fall events include:

The Museum will debut “Valor and Victory,” a four-chapter short documentary produced by DHD Productions that gives a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the museum. The film explores why Arlington was chosen as the Museum’s home, the leadership behind the project, NMOHMF President and CEO Chris Cassidy’s personal journey, and the Museum’s grand opening and vision for the future. Guests will be treated to a special on-stage conversation with Chris Cassidy and former Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams ahead of the premiere.
