Donation Impact
Your generosity has made it possible for the Museum to continue growing, improving, and sharing the stories of the Pacific War with visitors of all ages. The George H.W. Bush Gallery renovation has allowed us to create a more immersive and accessible visitor experience, with updated exhibits, refreshed storytelling, and new opportunities for families and young visitors to engage with history. In our Children's Gallery, children can learn how language, math, science, courage, and innovation shaped the war in the Pacific, while also discovering stories of service members, civilians, and heroes from many different backgrounds and communities.
Your support also helps us preserve and share firsthand accounts through our oral history program, ensuring that the voices of those who experienced World War II are not lost. Through live programs, educational outreach, distance learning opportunities, virtual events, and resources available online, the Museum continues to reach students, families, researchers, and communities far beyond Fredericksburg.
All of this is possible because of tremendous generosity. Every donated dollar helps sustain these programs, preserve these stories, and ensure that future generations can continue to learn from the people whose lives were forever changed by the Pacific War.
My dad served in the Pacific during WWII, and I think it’s important that we continue to educate people about how significant WWII was to all of our lives – not just the families of those who served. This is a world-class museum that does just that, and I am glad to support it.
