The Veterans’ Museum in Halls, TN continues to improve exhibits to enhance the visitors’ comprehension of the importance of Dyersburg Army Air Base (DAAB) during WWII.

A diorama, sponsored by Warren Nunn of Halls, vividly depicts the base proper with buildings, layouts, and the three runway locations.  This diorama helps locate where it was located in relation to the highways as they are today.  In 1942, the four-lane Highway 51 did not exist.

A monument dedicated to the 115 crewmen who were killed in air crashes while stationed at DAAB is now located in the Memorial Garden at the Museum site.  The monument was sponsored by Sterling Forsythe, formerly of Ripley.

We will honor all of our fallen veterans at our Memorial Day Ceremony on Thursday, May 22, at 2:00 p.m.  By laying a wreath in front of the monument, we express our profound appreciation for all who have given their lives for our country.

The Museum is open Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.  For information about the Museum and events, call 731-836-7400.
