A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Recently, I turned over the reins of leadership of the Board of Trustees to Richard Adkerson. I had no doubt that the essential work of this board — composed of a diverse mix of leaders committed to preserving our nation’s history — was in extraordinarily capable hands. Known and respected around the globe as the President and CEO of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, our new chairman is passionate about preserving and passing on the World War II story. 6 + 7 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Richard, the other Trustees and the Museum’s professional team are of one mind about the importance of our educational mission. We must always ensure that the buildings we erect or refurbish serve a high purpose, welcoming millions of visitors, inviting discovery and delivering information in engaging ways.

More important than the bricks and mortar is how we capture and pass on the stories, values and lessons from World War II. We employ many weapons in our educational arsenal: immersive exhibit spaces rife with artifacts and archival film clips; military strategy tables; a celebrated 4D movie (produced and narrated by ); conferences featuring top historians; staff outreach to schools and teachers; online access to oral histories; live acts in a USO-style performance hall and behind-the scenes tours that offer a close look at more prized artifacts.

And while we can, the Museum offers visitors a chance to interact directly with men and women who were part of the war effort. Each is a beloved volunteer — and a special sort of teacher.

We also recognize that their story must be told to those who will never visit our campus. We are spending significant time and resources both delivering and developing new ways to convey the lessons of WWII to students both near and far, young and not so young.

We are dedicated to making the WWII story compelling and meaningful, paying extra attention to gaining and holding the attention of young people. I hope you will be able to spend time with us soon. We welcome your suggestions and support!

Sincerely,

Herschel Abbott Chairman (2011–2013) A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

The National WWII Museum can take pride in its progress as an exceptionally busy fiscal year comes to a close. We are making big strides in our drive to build a world-class campus that fully explores the American experience in World War II.

The Museum reached a significant milestone the weekend of January 11 – 13, 2013, with the opening of our biggest and boldest exhibition hall to date, the US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center, a towering 26,540-square-foot complex showcasing six iconic aircraft, including “My Gal Sal,” a B-17E Flying Fortress bomber. Among other attractions, the pavilion also features Final Mission: The USS Tang Submarine Experience, recalling America’s most highly decorated submarine, and the What Would You Do? interactive, which challenges visitors with some of the tough dilemmas that Americans faced in combat or on the Home Front.

We are especially grateful to the late Senator Daniel Inouye for his inspiration and support, as well as Senators Mary Landrieu and David Vitter and the Boeing Company. All played lead roles in providing the financial support that made this stunning pavilion possible.

Meanwhile, work continues elsewhere on the campus. As this annual report goes to press, visitors to the newly opened Train Car Experience are gaining a sense of what millions of American servicemembers saw and felt as they departed for training camps and warfronts. And construction of the exterior of the next major pavilion, Campaigns of Courage: European and Pacific Theaters, is virtually complete, as we prepare for opening the building’s first phase next fall.

The scale of the campus — and the richness of its contents — would astonish this institution’s founder, my close friend, the late Stephen Ambrose. I believe he would be pleased to see how the the Museum is telling the story of this epic struggle for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Gordon H. “Nick” Mueller, Ph.D. President & CEO US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center Grand Opening, January 12, 2013 John E. Kushner Restoration Pavilion THE NATIONAL WWII MUSEUM WWII NATIONAL THE

In MemoriAM: DAVID R. VOELKER

The recent passing of a longtime champion for The National WWII Museum, David Voelker, represented a terrible loss for the Museum family. Generous in spirit and supportive of important civic causes, David was an exceptionally dedicated member of our Board of Trustees, serving from 2000—the year of the Museum’s opening—up until his untimely death in May 2013. 10 + 11 2013 ANNUAL REPORT He served as Chairman of the Board from 2004 to 2006, helping to guide this institution through a difficult recovery period after devastated the region and severely damaged the Museum’s capacity for attracting visitors.

David’s optimism and his daily efforts, in conjunction with other Museum leaders, in crafting a post-Katrina financial plan were critical to the institution’s survival and future expansion. In response to his challenge, trustees secured $10 million in private contributions to match a $10 million economic development grant provided to the Museum through the Recovery Authority.

These funds made it possible for the Museum to advance design and construction of a major pavilion, Campaigns of Courage: European and Pacific Theaters. David Voelker’s untiring efforts on behalf of the Museum honored the memory of his father’s service in World War II and gave him an enduring place in the history of this institution. He is greatly missed. David Voelker in 2010

NOVEMBER 2014: Museum Launches My Journey and My Collections SUMMER 2015: Interactive Experiences Campaigns of Courage: European and Pacific Theaters Opens The Road to Tokyo: Asia — Pacific Campaign Gallery MEMBERSHIP

Charter Members have consistently been the backbone of The National WWII Museum’s growth since our expansion began in earnest about 10 years ago and the 2013 fiscal year was no exception. Their dedication helped the Museum raise $6.1 million in gross operating revenue.

Every year we are inspired by the thousands of Charter Members who evoke the spirit of teamwork demonstrated by the Greatest Generation during WWII.

Their generous contributions are put to use immediately in collecting oral histories, preserving artifacts and providing the basic resources that allowed the Museum to raise its national awareness this past year.

PATRIOTS CIRCLE

When the Patriots Circle started at the Museum the number of members was approximately 150—mostly from New Orleans, Louisiana. This past year, the program hit a new high in membership and revenue.

Through gifts ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, over 800 individuals and organizations representing just about every state provided $1.6

million in operational support for the Museum during fiscal year 2013. Patriots Circle member contributions were a huge help in developing 26 + 27 new educational programming and special exhibits and maintaining the quality of the Museum’s existing exhibit galleries. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

A special thank you goes to the Museum’s Board of Trustees. As testament to their support of the mission of The National WWII Museum, Trustees contributed a combined total of over $400,000 to the Patriots Circle between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2013.

Knowing that the leadership of the Museum was willing to contribute their own funds to help the Museum was great encouragement to members when deciding to renew their support.
