The Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest military award, given only for acts of extraordinary bravery. Only a small number of service members in our entire history have earned it, which shows just how extraordinary their actions were. Please join us on National Medal of Honor Day as we pay tribute to recipients Sp4c. Gary George Wetzel, U.S. Army (Ret.) and Sgt. Allen James Lynch, U.S. Army (Ret.) and much more.
Join the PMML Library staff for an evening of genealogy discovery. You’ll explore beginner-friendly tools, from trusted books to online resources, and learn how to identify and better understand military medals that may connect to your family’s past. Whether you are just getting started or looking to build on what you already know, this program offers a meaningful way to begin exploring your military roots.
This special program offers a rare opportunity to look behind the canvas and see how the realities of military experience are translated into visual history.
The program features combat artist Kristopher Battles, whose work connects two compelling exhibitions at PMML. Battles will be joined by curator Tiffany Silverman, who will share insights into the vision Behind the Lines: Combat Artist and the Citadel Experience. Reserve your spot for an evening of live art, conversation, and military history at PMML.
Our monthly First Friday tours offer behind-the-scenes access to our underground archives, where stories of the Citizen Soldier come to life.
Journey with us as we read the pages of literary wonders that touch the heart. Join us virtually for a book discussion that encourages us to examine military history and how it relates not just to those who have served but to everyone. Our titles will change monthly and will feature fiction and non-fiction titles. The PMML Book Club is a virtual social gathering with special in-person surprise events along the way.
