The goal of the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Museum and Library is to educate visitors about the phenomenal stories and linkages of the conflicts of the 20th Century and to generate respect for all veterans and active duty military personnel. The stories of World War I will show how it lead inevitably to World War II, the largest and most significant war in the history of mankind. The subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan will also be exhibited.

In addition to both static and interactive experiences the Musuem will impart the important lessons and societal progressions that came from each deadly episode. Medical and technological advances between the wars will be part of the message. A leading example is the post WWII developments of the GI Bill which allowed Veterans to go to college, buy homes and create new communities and businesses all over the United States. The necessary advancement of women and minorities in the workforce, in the military and in society will be shown.

This beautiful Museum will welcome and educate students and other visitors of all generations by bringing them together to hear and share stories, ask questions and ultimately learn about the experiences of the soldiers and the citizens who supported their contributions and sacrifices.

Learning of the pain and the costs of the soldiers of the 20th Century will help visitors to understand members of our present day active duty military and our Veterans.
