Four Cornerstones
Education
As we progress through the 21st century, we must remember our past in order
to learn from it. At the Museum of 20th Century Warfare, we teach 20th
century military history year round and in many different formats.
Film discussion groups - military films followed by an open forum
Seminars - once a month topic with special guest speakers
Re-enactments - 5 each year at Ft Harrison State Park
Travelling exhibits - mobile exhibits which can travel to schools, airshow, history festivals and programs
Honor
Without the Veteran, we have no history to tell. It is these warriors
who have fought and died so that we may enjoy the freedoms that we have.
There is not a day that passes that we do not thank them for their
sacrifices.

Integrity
It is the responsibility of all museum members and representatives to be as accurate as possible in their presentations and record all research done for the project.
It is the responsibility of all museum members and representatives to respect the uniform and what it symbolizes at all times and remember that as educators we have to remain true to the ideals of the military.
We will at all times put the needs of the Veterans above our own and never forget that because they led the way, the path is clear for us.
Charity
Being a member of the museum means that you are a member of the community. There are several other charities that we work with on a year round basis as well as community projects:
Riley Hospital for Children - at each event, we collect batteries to give to Riley for them to use in a lot of the electronic games for the older children. We also collect new children's books for the Half Pint Library.
Ronald McDonald House - at each event, we collect the pop tabs for this charity and deliver them quarterly. We will also take any new children's games or coloring books as well.
Retired Flags - you may bring a flag for retirement to any event and we will deliver it to one of the places that it will be added to the retirement ceremony. Please do not throw any flags into the garbage.
