The Wall of Honor is a permanent memorial located at the entrance to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA.

Wall of Honor gifts range from $100 to $10,000 and the size of the lettering increases with each donation level.

  • $100 Friend- 3/16” letters

  • $1,000 Leader- 5/8” letters

Names are added to the Wall of Honor three times per year, approximately every four months. Search for your honoree at any time to check the status. Please note that names are first added in vinyl. Once a panel is filled with names, the vinyl is removed and the names are engraved.

Name listings are limited to 30 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
