Museum
Oregon Veterans Military Educational Display
“Preserving Our Heritage”
This display is NOT to glorify war…..
It is to educate the public as to the price of freedom. To do this, we have had displays at:
- The Oregon State Capitol
- The Oregon State Fair
- County Fairs
- Churches
- Colleges
- High Schools
- Middle Schools
- National Military Veterans Conventions
- State Military Veterans Conventions
- Retirement Homes and Facilities
If you wish to support this educational display, the following options are available.
- Uniforms are needed from any period of time. If you donate a uniform, please include a picture and military biography that we can put on the front of the uniform.
- Artifacts, news articles, pictures, posters, all of which can be displayed and/or framed.
- Monetary donations for the purpose of drycleaning, and upkeep of the military items.
