The Salute to Freedom gala recognizes extraordinary leadership and honors the brave men and women who serve in defense of our nation.
Support from the gala goes towards education programming, free programs for veterans and military families, exhibitions, and artifact preservation.
This year’s gala is especially meaningful as we celebrate America’s historic 250th anniversary. Throughout this year, the Museum’s programming will honor America’s story and Intrepid’s contributions to its history, while inspiring generations who will write America’s next chapter.
