"Because
I have the privilege of working with Idaho's veterans on a daily basis, I see
firsthand the sacrifices they made to protect the freedoms we enjoy. Only
a few of us have that opportunity, however,
and it is
important that we all remember the price they paid. To me, the museum is
not about glorifying war. It is about teaching the youth of today, and
future generations, what took place, where, and why it happened."

Services,
