Displayed against a curtain of patriotric blue, the following message is featured in the seasonal window of the Valley Falls Historical Society Museum.
"For every moment of peace, liberty, and greatness our country enjoys, we have someone who has worn a uniform to thank," accompanied by an additional tribute to our service men and women,
"A time to honor, remember and be grateful."
A simple red and white floral enhances the scene with a scattering of stars and poppies on a red carpet.
The veterans' window honors the service men and women, past and present, with a window lined with a red, white, and blue garland interspersed with poppies reminiscent of the infamous poem "In Flanders Field, the poppies blow," etc. of World War I renown. A background of blue curtain, fronted by a row of military company service flags, each decorated with a green wreath, centered with a white cross and topped with a red poppy.
"Lest we forget."
The museum will be open Saturday, May 25, at 9:30 a.m. and Sunday, May 26, immediately following the high school reunion dinner, until 3 p.m. and on Monday, May 27, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
