Navy Log enrollments help support the Memorial's values-based educational programs, which honor, preserve and celebrate America's enduring naval heritage. The Log, along with a complete exploration of the Navy Memorial and Naval Heritage Center, is now accessible through the Navy Memorial's Internet site, . V, PO Box 96570, Washington, DC 20077-7685.

Sponsored enrollments are also sought from relatives of deceased naval veterans. Log enrollments may also be made through the Navy Memorial's Internet site. Each year, the Memorial hosts nearly 500 active duty naval service reenlistments, more than a dozen wreath-laying ceremonies at the statue of the Lone Sailor, naval service retirements, and hundreds of visits by tour groups, school students and veterans' reunion organizations.
