RECENT CHANGES WITH THE NCMF

We are excited to announce that we have restructured the National Cryptologic Museum Foundation to better integrate daily operations and initiatives with the Cyber Center for Education and Innovation (CCEI) - Home of the National Cryptologic Museum.
We view these changes as critical steps to success in building our new CCEI-Museum facility and in developing exciting new programs associated with the NCMF and CCEI. More details coming soon.

| Honoring & Remembering Mr. Dick BernardIn May 2019, NSA and NCMF representatives traveled to Ohio to conduct a special Cryptologic Hall of Honor presentation for
Mr. Richard "Dick" Bernard. Although Dick was inducted into the Hall of Honor in 2018, he was unable to travel to attend the official ceremony at the Agency. Dick was presented with his Hall of Honor plaque, as well as letters of gratitude and commemorative items from the NSA and the NCMF. Read more about the special ceremony.
We are saddened to report that our friend Dick passed away on June 12th after a valiant battle with leukemia. He made invaluable contributions to the field during and after his impressive career. We invite you to learn more about his accomplishments and consider making a donation to the NCMF in his honor. Dick was a strong supporter of the Museum and Foundation. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
