Veterans Museum - Your Story, Your Legacy

The Veterans Museum is a virtual museum that was created to preserve the legacy of United States Veterans and their families as well as provide helpful resources for them. We want you to become a member and share your story so that generations to come can understand your sacrifices.

Your story is important. It’s time to preserve it for generations to come!

Tell your story for –

Your family, especially younger generations who will want to know their family’s story.

Your country, to keep the spirit of military service respected and preserved.

Your buddies, the ones who stood beside you in good times and bad.

Your military family, who understand the weight of the journey.

Those you served with, who share your experiences.

Those who are no longer with us, whose memory lives on in the stories we tell.

Why you should support the veterans museum

Because of the financial support of our membership, we are able to provide this opportunity FREE to every veteran. For $25 per year, your membership can ensure that the Veterans Museum can deliver on its mission to collect and preserve individual stories of veterans, help enable them to share those stories as they wish, and recognize and serve our veterans in ways they have long earned but too often failed to enjoy.

They served; they deployed; they left their families behind; they risked their lives and limbs. We very respectfully ask for your $25 per year support to ensure that Veterans’ service is recognized, respected and honored, helping ensure that the public is better educated about the service of veterans to America. If possible, please consider donating more to provide this opportunity for years to come.

who we are

We are Veterans and Grateful Descendants of Veterans

Inspired by the story of Major William J. Hicklin, Jr., a World War II veteran, and his wife Mignonette, our museum was born from the discovery of a war journal and four unseen D-Day photographs—hidden memories that sparked a mission. Founded by grateful descendants and supported by the local community, the Veterans Museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing veterans’ stories, honoring their service, and educating future generations. Join us as we pay tribute to our heroes and keep their stories alive.
