VA Reveils Plans for National Veterans Museum: WASHINGTON -- Plans for a National Veterans Museum were unveiled Nov. 8 at a reception here hosted by the Department of Veterans Affairs. "Our nation's veterans have made tremendous contributions to our country and its history," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony J. Principi. "This new museum will tell that story to generations of Americans, both born and not yet born." The National Veterans Museum, to be located at VA headquarters at 810 Vermont Ave. N.W., in Washington, will tell a story of homecoming -- the universal experience shared by all soldiers as they return to family, friends and community. Exhibits will discuss the impact on U.S. society of such events as the Bonus Army of 1932 and the GI Bill of 1944.
