Special Exhibit
Visit the museum soon to see a special exhibit about a Pearl Harbor Survivor, Albert “Pete” Peterson. He was on the U.S.S. West Virginia and lived to tell his heroic story.

Upcoming Program about Rosie the Riveter
Join us for this wonderful program looking at the role of women in WWII.
Rosie the Riveter
October 5th, 7pm
Broomfield Library, Eisenhower Room
But who was the real Rosie? Was she just one woman or one of many who stood up to fill an important need and ultimately helped win the war? Instead of a lecture, a local author, Shirley Jamiel, has created a skit of Rosie the Riveter which takes a creative venue of answering the questions many have asked over the years. It is set in an imaginary interview by a recently retired television talk show host who asks, “Who are you and will the real Rosie the Riveter please stand up?”
Successful Memorial Day Commemoration
We had a great turnout yesterday for the Broomfield Memorial Day Commemoration. Thanks to those that came and showed support for the museum, the Armed Forces and those that did not return.
ACRONYM: The Cross-Generational Battle With PTSD
April 20th, 7pm – Broomfield Auditorium
We have a really neat event coming up in a few weeks. We are partnering with Mountain Time Media and the City and County of Broomfield Cultural Affairs Division to provide this important and inspiring film. $10-15 donations are graciously accepted at the door. Proceeds will be split between Mountain Time Media and the Broomfield Veterans Memorial Museum.
Check out Mountain Time Media‘s website for more information about the project. See the ACRONYM flyer here for details!

Virtual Tour
We have some very exciting news! We are in the process of creating a virtual tour for the museum’s exhibits. This is just such a fantastic use of technology and we are indebted to our Google connection, Chris! He has done a wonderful job and we are excited that a full virtual tour will be done this year.
