"Fall In" Memorial Day Exhibit

​

The past summer Memorial Day exhibit was comprised of military items donated and on loan that span across more than a century of military history, including the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and Afghanistan. The exhibit had on display memorabilia such as a 19th-century medical kit in pristine condition used during the Spanish-American War, a Red Cross uniform, multiple military uniforms, a Nazi flag and military cap, firearms, buttons, gas masks, government posters and photographs. There was also a Fallen Soldier display in a corner of the exhibit, put together by DWU student and Army veteran Jerry Stravia.
