Greatest Generation Dance
The WWII generation is "a generation of towering achievement and modest demeanor, a legacy of their formative years when they were participants in and witness to sacrifices of the highest order". Join us in celebrating this greatest of generations in fine USO-style! Dust off your dancing shoes and spend an evening pulled from the pages of history, complete with live swing band, dancing and the aircraft of WWII, Korea & Viet Nam as a backdrop. This event is a fundraiser for the Museum... Your support will help us to continue 'Honoring Veterans' and 'Keep History Alive'!
