"Celebrate Independence - Masked Military History Unveiled":

On Saturday, 3 July 2010 USMHC conducted a special display and presentation at Copperleaf Senior Living Center in Willmar in honor of Independence Day.

The display included items of military history from the Civil War through the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Uniforms, medals, field gear and more were displayed.

The presentation provided lesser known "tid-bits" of military history in a slide show presentation. It helps show how our military has changed, and how it has changed our country.

Photos of the various items on display are below.

Shown here are a few different uniforms including a Spanish American War uniform, World War I, and some World War II uniforms.
