NVMM Presents our Veterans Day 2026 Program

From National Veterans Memorial And Musuem

September 30, 2026

On Wednesday, November 11th, we will recognize Veterans with Ohio connections who continue to serve their communities and our nation in meaningful ways.

Our Veterans Day program will present a moderated conversation exploring timely topic of interest to Veterans. Our panel of Veteran speakers will include:

• JoAnne S. Bass, former Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force
• Jennifer Ballou, U.S. Army Retired Master Sergeant, Gold Star Spouse and Chief of Staff of the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation
• Zachariah Collett, U.S. Army combat Veteran from Ohio and one of the Veterans featured in President George W. Bush’s Portraits of Courage exhibition at NVMM

Together, our speakers will explore our nation’s 250 years of military service and progress, while also recognizing the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Our goal is to encourage our guests and online viewers to seek opportunities to serve in their own communities.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
