At our Executive Council meeting, VBOB agreed to contribute $1,500 to the National Museum of the United States Army. This contribution, along with a $1,000 contribution from John McAuliffe’s Massachusetts Chapter 22, will entitle the Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge, Inc. to earn the status of Bronze Service Star Member. VBOB’s name will be displayed in the Museum’s Veterans Hall and be recognized in a special book published after the dedication ceremony.

The National Museum of the U. S. Army a magnificent state-of-the art facility will be built just outside Washington, D. C. to honor America’s Soldier, preserve the history of America’s oldest military service and educate all Americans about the Army’s role in our nation’s development. The Museum, scheduled to open during 2015, will be the U.S. Army’s national landmark.

The Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge contribution is important in helping to build this lasting tribute to the American Soldier, educating the American public on the service and sacrifices of all who have ever worn or are wearing the Army uniform. VBOB will also receive an official Campaign Banner and Certificate to display in its Hospitality Room at our reunion in New Orleans.
