"Lest We Forget" Military Exhibit
The price of freedom is enfolded in the lives of men and women who gave up home and family that we might not be enslaved by oppression. They served, fought, and died in fierce conflicts against overwhelming odds.
This exhibit will bring before your eyes the history and stories of those we are indebted to for that freedom. From the Civil War story of Governor Upham and others, to Afghanistan, you will discover the willingness of our men to serve.
