- The National VA History Center is the forthcoming museum and archival center for the historical collection and records pertaining to the Department of Veterans Affairs and its legacy agencies. It is located at the Dayton VA Medical Center campus, itself a designated National Historic Landmark. While the idea of the history center is not new, recent actions to make it a reality are. Ceremonies marking its official establishment – and the start of renovation work on two historic buildings to house the collection – were held in August 2020. The public opening of the facility isn’t expected for several years, but great work is ongoing behind the scenes.
In this video, get a firsthand look at the campus, future site of the museum, and learn how VA’s history continues to inform today.

Looking back more than 80 years, Naval Historian, Jan Herman discusses the details of the Pearl Harbor Attack. On December 7, 1941, more than 2,400 U.S. personnel were killed and 19 U.S. Navy ships were damaged or destroyed in the attack. Jan Herman describes what it was like for 3 veterans of the attack. Lee Soucy served on the USS Utah and just made it off the ship before it was sunk. Dorie Miller heroically fired at the Japanese planes with an antiaircraft gun. Sterling Cale handed out rifles to fellow sailors and later retrieved bodies from the USS Arizona.
