The museum was authorized by the US Congress as America's National World War II Museum, marking its significance in the country's historical landscape. It was opened on June 6, 2000, commemorating the 56th anniversary of the invasion. This date adds a layer of historical relevance to the museum, making it a poignant reminder of the events it represents.
