Each year in early November, America's National Churchill Museum displays "Veteran’s Trees" at the Museum’s main entrance. These aren’t traditional holiday decorations, instead they are white trees adorned with red ribbons, blue trim, and photographs honoring men and women currently serving, veterans, and those who have fallen in the line of duty.

Stop by the museum this weekend to experience this heartfelt tribute to our nation’s heroes. On Veterans Day, Monday, November 11th, active military and veterans, will receive free admission to the museum as a special thank you for their service 🇺🇸❤️
