The night of March 22 was one for the books. The sky lit up in red, white, and blue as Arlington, Texas, welcomed the grand opening of the National Medal of Honor Museum and Leadership Institute. Former President George W. Bush was there, along with a crowd of dignitaries, veterans, and supporters, all gathered to honor the brave souls who’ve earned the nation’s highest military honor. It was a moment of pride, reflection, and gratitude, a tribute to those who’ve given everything for their country.

You probably already know that Jerry Jones and his family were personally connected to this museum’s creation. The Jones family not only donated $20 million to support the construction. But Charlotte Jones, Jerry’s daughter, is also the chairperson of the museum’s board. Cowboys EVP is personally involved in all the operations of the museum. On Sunday, Charlotte took to her IG to share snaps and videos from the big night.

In one of the posts, Charlotte shared a heartfelt message, paying tribute to the fallen soldiers and their sacrifices. Sharing a video from the big night, Charlotte penned, “No words for this incredibly moving tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Thank you @tobykeith estate for allowing us to bring this moment to life 🙏 ❤️🤍💙.”

The Cowboys EVP also shared a video of the drone and fireworks show. “Part 2 of the powerful tribute to our fallen soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us,” captioned her. Located in Arlington, Texas, the museum is dedicated to all those who have received the nation’s highest military honor. This museum will tell you the unheard stories of military honor recipients.

“Most museums show you history. This one reminds you why it matters. Tonight, we remember the choices people made when no one else would,” wrote Charlotte Jones in one of her IG stories. Charlotte’s heartfelt posts didn’t go unnoticed. A national TV host was among those cheering on the Cowboys EVP for her incredible efforts and dedication to the museum.

Charlotte Jones’ tribute gets a well-deserved TV shoutout

“These five pillars, they’re (also) symbolizing the burden that each one of our soldiers has with each other. And what they are doing for us. We want everyone to know there is a cost of freedom, too, and the stories here share that.” That’s what the museum’s President, Chris Cassidy, said as he appeared before the media on Saturday. The media houses around Texas and beyond were buzzing on Saturday, covering the museum’s grand opening.

A national TV host even chimed in to give Charlotte Jones a shoutout on her IG post. Savannah Guthrie, a host for TODAY, shared a post on IG from the night. “A spectacular, heart-lifting evening celebrating the opening of the Medal of Honor museum in ARLINGTON,” wrote Savannah. “So honored to emcee, meet so many heroes, and cheer on @cjonescowboys for this incredible feat. Oh and witness the most extraordinary drone and fireworks show I’ve ever seen 🇺🇸 #mohmuseum,” captioned the TV host as she shared a clip of the fireworks from the opening night.

The National Medal of Honor Museum will open its doors to the public on March 25, yes, on the occasion of National Medal of Honor Day. This museum shares the stories of war heroes without relying on loud music, patriotic slogans, or an overload of American flags. The goal is to keep things simple and personal. You’ll get to hear directly from the heroes themselves through interviews with Medal of Honor recipients.
