When the doors of the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force opened in May 1996, thousands of Eighth Air Force veterans were among the first visitors. Sadly, very few of them are with us today. Fortunately, their legacy lives on through the museum they helped to establish.

Today, visitors to the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force learn about their courage and sacrifice, patrons are enlightened through education programs and school children engage with educational resources in history and STEM-related topics. The Mighty Eighth Museum is home to the world’s most significant collection of Eighth Air Force materials, each object giving life and meaning to the historical narrative of the Eighth.

It is your investment in the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force that enables it to preserve and present the Eighth Air Force’s rich history, with all of its lessons – day after day, year after year. Thank you for making the work of your museum possible and impactful.

Consider joining those who give monthly

By choosing to give monthly, you provide steady, reliable support that allows the museum to plan and carry out its work with confidence. Your recurring gift helps ensure that preservation, education, and storytelling are not limited to campaign seasons but sustained day after day, year after year.

Monthly giving is a simple way to make a lasting impact. A small gift each month goes a long way during the year, and you can change or stop your gift at any time. Thank you for standing with the Mighty Eighth and helping keep their history and legacy alive.

Thank you!
