Arlington has long been a city that honors those who serve, and this Veterans Day the National Medal of Honor Museum is making it easier than ever for residents to pay their respects. The museum is offering free admission on Veterans Day, giving the entire community a chance to step inside and experience the stories of America’s most decorated military heroes — at no cost.

The National Medal of Honor Museum, located in Arlington, stands as a one-of-a-kind tribute to the men and women who have received the nation’s highest military decoration for acts of valor. Opening its doors without charge on Veterans Day is a fitting way to mark the occasion and invite families, veterans, and neighbors to connect with that legacy together.

Also bringing good cheer to the Arlington community this week, UTA Athletics announced that eSix Sportswear has renewed its sponsorship of UTA Athletics. The renewal signals continued confidence in the Mavericks program and helps sustain the athletic opportunities available to student-athletes at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Adding to the celebratory spirit on campus, UTA Athletics also unveiled a brand-new Most Valuable Professor (MVP) Program, a fresh initiative designed to recognize and honor the professors who make a difference in the lives of student-athletes. The program reflects the university’s commitment to celebrating academic excellence alongside athletic achievement — a reminder that Arlington’s Mavericks are winning both on and off the field.

Whether you’re a lifelong Arlingtonian or a newcomer to the city, Veterans Day weekend offers a meaningful opportunity to visit the National Medal of Honor Museum and reflect on the courage and sacrifice that the Medal of Honor represents. Admission is free, so bring the whole family and make a day of it.
