History is important!

Unfortunately the leadership at the US Army Center of Military History has decided to close more than 20 Army Museums!

Contact local officials and officials at Department of Army to voice your opinion!

Citing maintenance costs and aging buildings, the Army will close or consolidate many of its 41 museums, leaving only 12.
