It's been a while, but were back!

With the recent holiday season coming to an end the Home of the Brave Hawaii Victory Tour has been hard at work in the museum and on the tour! Here are a few highlights and news from within the company...

We recently acquired some brand new display cases that will be featured in the Victory Club very soon! We have some wonderful vintage memorabilia and other items that we can finally share in the museum...I'll be sure to include the final content when we finish them up and place them into the Museum!



We have been working on another project for our museum as well as for the Arizona Memorial Visitor Center's giftshop-here are a few concept shots of the Victory Garden Apron we are currently making...hopefully we can revive the Victory Gardens that were popular back in the 1940's!


Finally, we were excited to meet the 2008 United States Army "Soldier of the Year" Spc. David Obray, a Construction Equipment Repair Specialist, with the 492nd Engineer Company, 414th Engineer Command in Mankato, Minnesota.

David and his family joined us on our Home of the Brave Victory Tour in December and shared his stories with us throughout the day. When asked about how he felt about being the Soldier of the year, he responded "The Best Warrior is the personified Strength of the Nation. The title represents the entire United States Army and shows the proficiency of all Soldiers and NCOs (Noncommissioned Officers). It was a great honor to be selected." Here is a photo of David during the competition as well!
