Memorial Day Ceremony:
Join us for our annual Memorial Day Ceremony
Speakers, Military Honors, Taps, Flyover and more.
Special exhibit: Military Uniforms display and "Advertising War: WWI" military posters display, May 25-27.
Before the advent of radio and motion pictures, art and illustration were the primary forms of mass communication. With the outbreak of World
War I, governments, militaries, and service organizations hired artists and illustrators to depict the ravages of war and to rally patriotism.
Poster imagery created before and during American military participation was used to mobilize citizens to enlist, give aid to refugees and
soldiers, and motivate any and all people to join the fight through rationing, buying bonds, or charity work.
Uniforms provided by Salem VFW Post 661. Artwork reproduction from the National Museum of American History.
Free Refreshments-Hot dog, popcorn.
Join us in appreciation for all our Military/Veterans and their service.
