Supporters
We are grateful for the generous financial and in-kind support we have received during the past year from our many friends in the community. Gifts to the museum help us to upgrade our equipment, expand our services and programs, as well as create new exhibits and opportunities to reach out and honor San Diego’s veterans. As we embark on a series of ambitious new projects we hope you will “earn your stars” by helping us to keep up the good work!
