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.

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.
