We were extremely grateful to see so many people come out to support the Central Florida WW2 Museum.
Two of our guests came all the way from Ohio! A few others came from as far as three hours away. As
one guest remarked, "Simply astonishing, since you do not even run a facility open to the public yet." We
could not agree more. Below are some random photographs from the event.

Swing was an enormous success because of your generosity and commitment to preserving the memory of
the G.I. Generation.
"As it was their duty to serve us, so it is ours to serve them. Do not be content to let the weeds of time
grow over the headstones of those brave souls, nor let their deeds be overlooked. For they, as they have
always done and continue to do, left the safety of home in the hope that tomorrow your children would
not have to. Almighty God, we pray that You continue to watch over our veterans and active military
personnel."
