In observance of the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, we would like to take a moment to remember and honor the many veterans from the Auburn area who have served over the years, especially those who died while serving. We have a number of photographs of Auburn veterans and information about their service that can be viewed in this album.

For Memorial Day, we've assembled a photo album to remember several Auburn area veterans and honor them for their service, including three Auburn servicemen who died while serving their country in World War II.

We have attempted to be as inclusive as possible, but unfortunately the Museum's photo collection represents only a fraction of the veterans who served from the Auburn area. If you have photos of other past Auburn veterans wearing their uniforms that you don't see here and would like to have included, please get in touch with us and we would love to properly include them.
