WWII Veteran, Pioneering Marine, Museum volunteer
Frances Skiba Hoffmann, a WWII veteran and one of the first members of the Marine Corps Women's Reserve, died last week in New Orleans at age 96 of COVID-19. She was a beloved member of our Museum family.
The pioneering newswoman and author championed the growth of our mission.
Farewell to the last surviving Doolittle Raider, who generously shared his unforgettable WWII story.
This Museum certainly would not be the success it is today without Bill. His family is in our thoughts and prayers. His memory lives on in our exhibits, our mission, and our hearts.
We are forever grateful for his service to his country, his lifelong embodiment of the America spirit, and his support of our mission.
Farewell to an early and steadfast friend of The National WWII Museum.
