As we start out , we celebrate the gathering of Veterans, Staff, and community partners to witness the unveiling of the new VA St. Louis Military Display Cases on the ground floor of Building 23 at JB.

Thanks to a partnership with and generous donations of uniforms and artifacts from Veteran patients, staff, and community members, our nation’s heroes are honored in a truly meaningful way.

The items on display are far more than objects behind glass. They are living history.
Every uniform and artifact, representing all branches of service, carries a story waiting to be discovered. Thanks to the MidAmerica Veterans Museum, these stories are preserved in Building 23 and shared online for people everywhere to experience. Each display case features a QR code, inviting
everyone to visit, scan, and dive deeper into these remarkable histories.

When you visit our JB campus, take a moment to see our vibrant displays that honor all branches of the military. You can help this tribute grow by donating uniform items or memorabilia. To donate, email [email protected] to request a donation form.
