The museum is very grateful to Famous Daves for the proceeds they donated to the museum from these two days of Rib tasting.

President’s message,
 
Although 2011 is finally coming to a close, and our Nation has seen many economical difficulties.  The Northern California Veterans Museum and Heritage Center has seen some remarkable achievements in our first year open to the public.  As we begin to see festive Christmas parades, lights and decorations appear. We are thankful for this time of year and for all of those who have supported the Museum so faithfully.  Soon Hanukah and Christmas celebrations will be recognized.  May we as Americans take this time to focus on our many blessings.
 
Let us also pause in appreciation of all who place their lives and well-being on the line to defend this great nation and our freedom.  Please reserve special thoughts and prayers for the families of those serving and who have served.
 
Here at the Veterans Museum we want to remember those who cannot be with us who have paid the ultimate price for freedoms and peace that we can enjoy during this special time of year.
 
The Directors and volunteers, join me in extending our warmest personal greetings of this season to all of you.  Thank you, for everything that you do on behalf of the Northern California Veterans Museum, especially, to those men and women who are so far from home today, serving our Nation.
 
Best regards.
 
Yours truly,
 
Rob Burroughs, CEO/President
Northern California Veterans Museum & Heritage Center
