The National WWII Museum, on May 20, celebrated Armed Forces Day and recognized servicemembers, both past and present, in all six branches of the US military: the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Space Force. The Museum partnered with the New Orleans Mayor’s Military Advisory Committee for a Commemoration Ceremony in US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center.

Within the ceremony, the Mayor’s Military Advisory Committee recognized and honored the 2023 awardees of the MMAC Community Service Award. The MMAC Community Service Award honors servicemembers who have gone above and beyond to selflessly serve the communities they live and work in.

The 2023 Armed Forces Day Commemoration featured:

- USMC Major General David Mize (Ret.)
- New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell
- Medal of Honor recipient Jim “Doc” McCloughan
- Performance by the Victory Belles
- USMC Color Guard and Band

Following the commemoration, the Museum unveiled and rededicated the museum’s Blue Star Highway Marker in partnership with the Louisiana Garden Club Federation, Inc. on Magazine Street.
