The stories recognized individual legacies of service and contributions to Naval Aviation.
The first seven honored service members include:

  • Maj Eugene “Red” James, USMC
  • Col Simon J Kittler, USMC (Ret)
  • LCDR Cash Barber, USN (Ret)
  • CAPT Vince Segars, USN

  • Col Henry Steadman, USMC (Ret)
The Legacy Wall campaign is one of the many fundraising initiatives, hosted by the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, to provide resources to the National Naval Aviation Museum’s expansion, aircraft preservation, conservation and maintenance and development of new exhibits. The Legacy Wall is located on the Museum’s second floor in the Foundation’s Hall of Honor. Plaques will be viewed by hundreds of thousands of visitors to the National Naval Aviation Museum each year for generations to come.
