While it started as a museum to honor World War II veterans, the museum has expanded to include conflicts from the Civil War forward and serviceman from all branches of service. Visit us to learn more about the heroic men and women who have served our country in times of war and peace.
Through programming and educational outreach we meet our mission of preserving the memories of America’s military history and facilitating the stories of veterans for the benefit and education of generations to come.
You can also watch a livestream of our Coffee and Conversation presentations on our YouTube channel.
Join us on June 14 when Peter Lagasse is a retired U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Lieutenant Colonel who will describe how the U.S. Army created ports for embarkation and disembarkation of supplies and troops during the Vietnam War. Program starts at 10am.
Coming on May 24 at 10am, our next Coffee & Conversation speaker will be Paul Strange, who is a Vietnam War veteran who served in the 4th Infantry Division and will discuss his experiences through a slideshow of photos taken before and during the controversial Cambodian incursion part of the war.
The Tiger Team represented the museum at the 'Salute in Song' concert performed by the Longmont Chorale Guild on Sunday May 4th.
The event was held in the Vance Brand Civic Auditorium at Skyline High School. The focus was on Vietnam Era Veterans. Many veterans organizations were present including American Legion Post 32, the publishers of the popular Veterans Life magazine, and the Longmont VFW organization.
Jim Hart, Jim Mize, Rich Swanton and Craig Wolverton manned the museum's table in the foyer, making contact with about 200 participants as they entered and exited the facility.
In addition to the inspiring performance by this great Chorale, the Vietnam Lapel Pin was awarded in a ceremony that included a Color Guard and each attending Vietnam Era veteran appeared on stage and received his/her pin from Gene Schiferl, who is a Vietnam veteran of the Air Force and Army, flying the Cessna L-19/0-1A Bird Dogs aircraft used to locate the enemy and coordinate air control.
Congratulations to all the pin recipients and a gracious thanks to American Legion Post 32, our friends at the Veterans Life magazine, the Longmont Chorale and all those who planned and executed this event!
