You can help with our history, display ideas and actual work at the office. Did you know that Navy enlisted personnel are giving us some of their “off-hours” time at the office?

We are looking for those of you who were not only in WWII for background, but you who served during the Korean, Vietnam, Gulf and Iraq eras. We have a room set aside for each of these times in history. We are looking for those who will take “ownership” of each of these eras.
Call us to set a time to discuss and make a plan of action! ... (360) 240-9500
