NAVAL AIR STATION FORT LAUDERDALE MUSEUM
WWII Veterans History Project
The Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale Museum collects and preserves personal stories and other documents from World War II Veterans, with the purpose of building a lasting legacy of preserving history for generations to come. This History Project collects unpublished written memoirs of personal wartime experiences. We welcome diaries, collections of letters, and photographs that tell the veteran’s story. Maps, drawings, and other documents are also welcome. We don't have to keep your originals as the artifacts can be scanned, or photographed, and shared this way via e-mails. This project was started in 2010, with the introduction of NASFL Museum founder Allan McElhiney, who was a sailor in World War II. This Gallery of Veterans is not in chronological order, rather it follows a date of completion by NASFL Museum curators. If you are interested in sharing a Veteran's story, or your family's military history, please download the MEMOIR KIT below:
