| As many of you already know, we have worked
vigorously to create a unique exhibit, paying homage to
veterans and their families who lived through WWII. What
started as a personal hobby very quickly grew into the utmost
respect for these people who indeed deserve the name "The
Greatest Generation".
Our exhibit is
meant to serve as a place where the visitor can see and feel
virtually how it was in those days. In combination with my work and
dioramas (3D paintings), we want to create an environment where
everyone, but especially a younger public, can be re-educated about
that time in history where a whole generation was engulfed in the
turmoil of despair and ordeal, but also in togetherness and victory,
on the battlefield as well as on the home front.
The classrooms
house an exhibit of several fully dressed figures from all
branches of the US Military, Allied and Axis Forces,
personal artifacts, WAACS, WAVES, WASPS, Nurses, Red Cross, and
volunteers. A wall of honor shows 200+ photos of soldiers who
have some relationship with Preston County.
If you or members
of your family have uniforms, artifacts, documents or
photos from that era that might contribute to the museum we would be
honored to incorporate them in the exhibit when
possible.
We also offer the opportunity to
become a lifetime member of "The Greatest Generation
Society". The life time membership donation is $250 and it
will help to make this exhibit even more unique. Your
membership includes free admission, name recognition on the wall,
membership card and polo shirt with "The Greatest Generation
Society" logo.
