To all of our Veterans and family members - Thank you!! And Happy Veterans Day!! While Nov 11 started as a day of remembrance for the end of WW1, the day now honors all of those who have served. We need to also remember the family members who have stood behind, loved, and supported our veterans. Without their support, we can't be successful. Our mission at the museum is to remember and honor those that have served with the Washington National Guard since 1855. We can't do this without your help. Please feel free to share your memories and experiences. If you have artifacts that you would like to be cared for and preserved, let us know - we are always looking for more items to help tell our story. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to us.
