Honoring the service and heritage of the men and women of the United States Air Force

The Air Force Memorial will remain closed due to ongoing construction and utility work related to the Arlington National Cemetery Southern Expansion Project. The closure initially scheduled from June 15 to July 26, 2025, has been extended, and the new closure date will be August 24, 2025.

During this period, from June 15, 2025, to August 24, 2025, the memorial will remain inaccessible, and the main entrance will be blocked. No ceremonies or visits will take place on the site, as it continues to be an active construction zone.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we continue to work toward completing this important project, which will expand the burial space for Arlington National Cemetery and is expected to significantly increase visitor access to the Air Force Memorial.
