Our current exhibit in the main gallery space is The Missing Man Table: Honoring the Fallen, Missing, and Never Forgotten, on display through September 13 🇺🇸

The Missing Man Table, also known as the Fallen Comrade Table, is a symbolic military memorial that honors U.S. service members who are prisoners of war, missing in action, or who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Each item on the table carries special meaning, representing remembrance, sacrifice, hope, and the enduring commitment to never forget those who have not returned home.

Presented by Wichita State University's Military and Veteran Services, this exhibit invites students, faculty, staff, and visitors to pause, reflect, and learn about the significance of this long-standing military tradition in observance of Patriot Day and the National Day of Service and Remembrance.
