The National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center at Patriot Park
Located adjacent to Fort Benning in Columbus, Ga., the National Infantry Museum is a 100,000-sq-ft national monument constructed to honor the nation’s 234-year old Infantry and “Infantry Warrior.”
Early on, to document the project’s special nature, contractor Batson-Cook Co. developed a project mission statement that read in part: “This is not just another project or building to us. This will be a living monument to past, present and future Infantry Warriors. This monument will honor the commitment and sacrifices made by the Infantrymen and their families to the history of our grateful nation…. I understand that this is sacred ground. Not just another job site or facility but a symbol of honor, valor and sacrifice.”
