This Memorial Day consider making
This Memorial Day consider making a donation to the Cold War Museum.
Founded by Francis Gary Powers Jr, the mission of the museum is "...a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to education, preservation, and research on the global, ideological, and political confrontations between East and West from the end of World War II to the dissolution of the Soviet Union.." Their goals are to establish permanent Cold War museums to preserve the history of that time period, erect Cold War memorials, and establish a reference library and research center.
Mr Powers is the son of the famous U-2 pilot who was shot down over the Soviet Union in May of 1960.
The Cold War Museum has a mobile exhibit that has been loaned to many museums around the world.
Mr Powers is seeking a permanent home for the museum in the Washington DC area. Two sites are under consideration, one a former Nike missile site in Lorton VA, and the other adjacent to the Air and Space annex next to Dulles Airport.
Mr. Powers also publishes a bi-monthly magazine that you can have sent to you by email. Contact editor@coldwar.org for a subscription.
