Airmen from Travis Air Force Base at the 2025 Gold Star Mother’s Event at Marines’ Memorial.

On behalf of the Marines’ Memorial, I extend my warmest congratulations to the United States Air Force on the occasion of its birthday. Since its founding, the Air Force has stood as a pillar of American strength, innovation, and resolve, ensuring dominance in the skies and safeguarding the freedoms we all hold dear. The Marines’ Memorial is proud to honor the enduring bond between the services and the sacrifices made by generations of Airmen in defense of our nation. As you celebrate another year of proud service, know that we salute you with the utmost respect and admiration. Happy Birthday, United States Air Force!

At Marines’ Memorial, we are looking forward to making our 8th Floor dedicated to the Air Force through our Comprehensive Campaign. You can donate today to our Air Force Floor.
