The galleries of Soldiers' Memorial are hosting a variety of new displays and exhibits, including:

• "Vietnam: A Family's Sacrifice," telling the story of John Schmidt and Arthur Myers, cousins killed in action in Vietnam
• Ted Williams, a WWII B-24 Navigator
• St. Louis Genealogical Society, detailing how to research your family's military history
• "She Chose to Serve: Honoring Women Veterans," a history of women's involvement in the military, beginning in World War I, which focuses on women veterans past and present in American Legion St. Louis Service Women's Post 404.

Thank you to Mary Wade, Betty Myers, Ted Williams, Jr., the St. Louis Genealogical Society (especially John and Ann Wittenberg, Kay Weber, and Carol Feldman for setting up the exhibit) and Tanya Roth for their assistance with these exhibits.

These displays won't be up forever, so be sure to come visit soon!
