As the home of major military bases such as the Army’s Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, the Camp Lejeune Marine Base in Jacksonville, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, and the Coast Guard’s Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina has a reputation for being the one of the most military-friendly states in the country, and a long history of honoring and supporting service members and their families.

NC also has many ways for visitors to experience the history and honor of our men and women in uniform. Walk the decks of a retired World War II battleship and an active Coast Guard cutter in Wilmington. Delve into the history of Airborne and Special Operations units in Fayetteville, then feel the thrill of skydiving at the same indoor wind tunnel where soldiers from Fort Bragg train. Take a tour of a working Air Force Base in Goldsboro, or honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice at the Lejuene Memorial Gardens in Jacksonville.
