A Grateful Nation: A Look Back at World War II October 13, 2011

As the 70th anniversary of the United States entry into World War II approaches, this exhibit commemorates the courage of those who fought on the battlefield to defend our freedoms and the commitment of those on the home-front who fought to keep our troops equipped and strong. Visitors will experience the personal stories of local soldiers and civilians who served their country with courage and faith in their resolve to win in the struggle against tyranny. Included in the exhibit are period weapons and equipment, and more importantly, the cherished memories and mementos of some of the darkest days on the planet.
