The National Memorial of Military Ascent is a non for profit organization located just off the National Scenic Byway and near the Grafton Visitor Center in Grafton, IL. The mission of the NMMA is to build a military museum and a memorial of bronze sculptures representing Pointe du hoc on D-day. The complex will include a granite wall with names engraved as a memorial. The museum will contain an experience theater, gift store, and displays representing battles throughout US history.
