Recognizin
g
those
who
served
Thumbs-up to those involved in the efforts to reorganize and make improvements to the Freeman Army Air Field Museum in Seymour. The museum was established in 1996 in honor of the cadets who trained there during World War II. Many people over the years have worked on the museum, and an open house and rededication ceremony recently was conducted to showcase it to the public. It’s always good to see Americans recognizing those who have served their country.
