Retired EX 308SMW officers Col. Jim Gray and Maj. Vince Maes have both been busy helping to create a new museum in Jacksonville. They have assembled a very impressive collection of military mementos and artifacts. This is a must see for any military buff and anyone else who appreciates the sacrifices made by our forefathers who battled to protect our freedom, both military and civilian alike. If you're in Jacksonville you must stop by to see this collection! |
I WANT TO THANK ALL THOSE WHO ATTENDED THE REUNION FOR THEIR GENEROSITY AND CONCERN FOR PRESERVING THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE 308TH SMW. NEARLY $3000,00 WAS DONATED BY YOU TOWARD THE CREATION OF AN HISTORICAL DISPLAY AT THE JACKSONVILLE MILITARY MUSEUM. MY HOPE, AND THAT OF EACH OF YOU I AM SURE, IS THAT IT WILL REFLECT THE UNTIRING DEDICATION AND PATRIOTISM OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE 308TH WHO DEFENDED OUR COUNTRY AND ITS IDEALS SO MAGNIFICENTLY FOR TWENTY FIVE GLORIOUS YEARS. THANKS, VINCE MAES. |
