This month, Museum visitors are encouraged to make a paper poppy—a symbol of remembrance—to honor a military service member in their life and add it to our memorial garden.

If you are unable to visit the Museum and would like a poppy to be made in honor of a fallen service member, please complete this online form and Museum staff will make a poppy on their behalf.
