This unique flag display of appreciation will be in front of the museum from November 1-30th.

Both organizations and individuals are invited to purchase a flag or flags to honor veterans.
Placement – Flags will be placed in front of the museum in the front field from November 1-30.
Sale Dates – October 15 – November 30

It was also a “black week” for German resistance. Willi Graf was beheaded on 10/12/1943, and Hans Leipelt was arrested the same week.
At World War II American Experience, we understand that our visiting veterans are a few of the last and we're committed to preserving their words forever.
Harry Miller sat down with us this summer to share his experiences in the 740th Tank Battalion.
