Vinton History Museum

July 7, 2021 by sbtate

We created a military display for the Vinton History Museum to commemorate Independence Day. All three uniforms were donated to the museum. From left to right, the desert camo uniform is the most modern military uniform in the museum’s inventory and is also a women’s uniform. It was used within the last few decades. The center uniform is from the Second World War. The uniform to the right is a uniform from the Korean and Vietnam wars. The Korean Vietnam uniform was donated to the museum a month ago, while the other two uniforms were stored in a closet. All three uniforms have never been on display before. We created this display to honor the men and women who served and who are currently serving for America’s freedom. This display shows the history of American military uniforms from the 1930’s.
