Mission of the Museum
Our mission is to honor, and perpetuate the memory of the service men and women who have served in our nation's armed forces down through the history of our country during peacetime or war.
The mission of the museum began over a decade ago with the goal of making sure that our veterans "Shall Not Be Forgotten".
The museum began with humble beginnings in 1997 at a storefront and in 2005 we opened our new facility visible from Interstate 5 just off of exit 77.
The museum features a 9,000 square feet main gallery with 85 display cases and hundreds of displays honoring our veterans. The museum features a military history reference library with thousands of volumes. There is also a gift shop and a "USO" where you can come and enjoy a cup of coffee and some conversations with our local veterans. For special occasions the museum also has a modern 3,000 square foot Events Center.

World War Two Veterans Remembrance Day
December 4th, 2011 at 2:00pm
Veterans Memorial Museum Events Center
For thirteen consecutive years we have now been hosting the World War Two Veterans Remembrance Day. Its hard to imagine that this year will mark the 70th anniversary of the "day of infamy" when air and naval forces of Imperial Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This event thrust America into the global struggle against the determined and ruthless Axis forces for the next four years. The cost to America was immense, yet America united as a nation and everyone from the children collecting scrap metal to the soldier on the front lines put all their effort into defeating the enemy, we emerged victorious.
Time continues to march on for this generation of noble and heroic Americans, We cannot afford to forget their courage and sacrifice.
We invite all World War Two veterans, their family members and friends to attend this unique event. There will be special music, a catered dinner (tickets will be available at the Museum in the first week of November) and special presentation.
