https://nmajmh.org/ focuses on Jewish military history. Definitely off the beaten track (tourism-wise; it's actually fairly centrally located).

The WWII memorial has ranger-led tours regularly. You can also see if any Honor Flight tours are scheduled to visit so he can meet and thank WWII and other vets.

Arlington National Cemetery.

My brother-in-law is coming to DC for the first time in July. He is really into WWII stuff. Other than the WWII Memorial, are there other sites/museums/tours you'd recommend?
