PASADENA, Calif., July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE), the first, preeminent, longest-tenured and pioneering owner, operator and developer of collaborative Megacampus™ ecosystems in AAA life science and advanced technology innovation cluster locations, today reaffirmed its support of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation (NMOHM) and their shared mission to preserve and share the stories of the extraordinary individuals whose courage, sacrifice and service have helped shape the United States throughout its history. As America prepares to commemorate its 250th anniversary, this mission carries profound significance for every American by ensuring that the values embodied by the Medal of Honor Recipients continue to inspire future generations and strengthen our shared understanding of the ideals upon which our nation was founded. The stories of the Medal of Honor Recipients remind us of the values that unite Americans and challenge each of us to lead lives of character, integrity and purpose.
In honor of America's enduring legacy of patriotism, courage and service, Alexandria highlights the impact of its mission-critical partnership and support of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation. From citizen-soldiers who fought for America's independence nearly 250 years ago to modern-day service members who have answered the call to defend freedom, generations of Americans have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to ideals larger than themselves. Among the most enduring examples are those brave individuals who have received the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration. Awarded by the President, in the name of Congress, the Medal of Honor commemorates those who have shaped our nation's history and continue to inspire its future with their acts of valor, humanity, patriotism and sacrifice. Over 40 million Americans have served in the U.S. Armed Forces since the Civil War. Fewer than 4,000 have been awarded the Medal of Honor.
"Alexandria's commitment to the Medal of Honor Museum has been essential in bringing this national tribute to life. Their dedication to honoring the courage, sacrifice and service of Medal of Honor Recipients ensures that these stories continue to inspire Americans for generations," said Christopher J. Cassidy, first and former president and chief executive officer of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, retired U.S. Navy SEAL and former NASA astronaut.
Alexandria has proudly supported the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation for years, guided by the company's strategic corporate responsibility initiatives and deep commitment to advancing organizations that strengthen communities, inspire leadership and create lasting societal impact. Joel S. Marcus, executive chairman and founder of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., has served on the board of directors of the NMOHM since 2020. Alexandria's support was instrumental in advancing the Foundation's vision to create a permanent national tribute to Medal of Honor Recipients and the values they represent through the development and delivery of the National Medal of Honor Museum.
The National Medal of Honor Museum ("Museum") is the first-and-only museum dedicated to Medal of Honor Recipients, and was recently awarded "Best New Museum" by USA Today Reader's Choice 2026. The Museum, which opened in Arlington, Texas, in March 2025, stands as the nation's premier institution dedicated to preserving and celebrating the legacy of the Medal of Honor and its Recipients. The Museum is 100,000 square feet, including 31,000 square feet reserved for exhibition galleries that share the history of the Medal of Honor and the stories of the American heroes who earned it. Through immersive exhibits, educational programming and leadership initiatives, the Museum honors the one-of-a-kind Americans who have received the nation's highest military decoration for valor in combat.
