Fredericksburg, TX – The National Museum of the Pacific War is pleased to announce the relaunch of the Society of Sons and Daughters of WWII Veterans, a revitalized version of a long-standing program dedicated to honoring and preserving the legacy of those who served during World War II.

First established years ago to recognize descendants and families of WWII veterans, the Society has been restructured to provide a more streamlined and accessible experience. The revamped program now features a secure online portal where members can create and manage individual profiles for their veterans, upload photographs, share personal stories, and organize service records. These improvements address previous limitations in the application process and archival management, enhancing the Society’s ability to preserve these histories for future generations.

Memorial Day in the U.S. marks the unofficial end of spring bird migration and beginning of summer. While millions of people flock to beaches and parks with rivers or lakes for recreation, many shorebirds like the Least Tern, Piping Plover, Snowy Plover, Wilson's Plover, and Black Skimmers have begun to nest and raise their young along the shore.

20250307 Winter Texan Fiesta WAB IMG 5624 webThis season is ending, and I hate to see it go. We always enjoy your time with us, and our time with you, and we sure are going to miss it while you are gone.

We know you are coming to the Valley for the community, the weather, lower prices, and more. We also know you are coming because of the culture and the warm welcomes you receive. But it is also your warmness that makes us love seeing you each year.

Speaking of that warmness, you do so much for the communities you live in – whether it is for your park, a special person in your park, or an organization in your city – you really do a lot while you are here. The work and care you put forth is so appreciated by all of those that receive your blessings.
