The Army Transportation Museum Foundation (ATMF) is at a critical crossroads, and we need the support of the entire Transportation Corps community.
For years, ATMF membership numbers appeared strong, but after updating our records, we discovered that only about 1,400 members can still be contacted, and fewer than 750 have donated within the last five years. Donations have steadily declined, dropping from over $108,000 in 2023 to less than $70,000 in 2025. Last year alone, the Foundation operated at a loss and was forced to draw from its investment portfolio to cover expenses.
At the same time, the Army Transportation Museum continues to face significant challenges. Museum staffing has been reduced, public access has been cut to only two days per week, and critical maintenance and infrastructure needs remain unfunded. Despite its importance to our Corps history and heritage, the museum receives no direct funding for these needs.
The reality is simple: if the Transportation community does not step up, the future of both the Foundation and the Museum becomes increasingly uncertain.
We need your help. Become a member. Renew your support. Encourage fellow transporters, veterans, retirees, National Guard, and Reserve Soldiers to join. Attend fundraising events, purchase Foundation merchandise, and most importantly, make a donation if you are able.
The Army Transportation Museum preserves the legacy of generations of transportation professionals who answered the nation's call. That legacy deserves our support.
If our history matters to you, now is the time to get involved. - ATMF Social Media Director, Ralph C Boyd Jr. , MSG, US Army.🫡🇺🇸
