Originally conceived by the Grand Army of the Republic, Soldiers & Sailors has had a long history of relationships with veteran groups. This program will examine these connections including a focus on Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), American Legion and many more. Join us just days after Veteran’s Day to learn about artifacts and photographs from our collection that highlight the unique history of Veteran’s Organizations and Soldiers & Sailors.
