The Museum of the
Forgotten Warriors presents many functions throughout the
year. These activities range from school field trips, where
students may see actual people from the community who served
in the armed forces displayed through signed pictures and
memorabilia.
Beale Air Force
Base Airman Leadership School has each one of its classes
visit before each Airman is promoted to Staff Sergeant.
Each year, on the
Saturday before Memorial Day, known as Armed Forces Day, a
potluck is held for veterans and their families and invited
guests.
Special ceremonies
are held on Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day, and memorial
services for deceased veterans are held at the museum.
Group meetings for veterans with PTSD are held. Veteran
focus groups from Yuba City, Marysville, Grass Valley,
Sacramento and Chico also visit the museum. Veterans
volunteer as docents to guide first time visitors through
the museum.
The planned new
6,000 square foot museum addition and library center will
offer more exhibit space and a library, where veterans can
go to reflect and research the past. To add the proposed
library center, the museum applied for and was granted a
501c(3) tax exemption status, so that the Board of Directors
of the Museum Library may accept financial and material
donations to build it. The improvements will only continue
to add benefits and enjoyment to all veterans, both locally
and regionally, and the communities of Northern California.
