(Tri-State Military Veterans Museum Photo)
Individuals wishing to place a picture of their family’s veterans in the Tri-State Military Veterans Museum are asked to scan the image and send it to cheryl.skinner@tristatemvm.org
Skinner will enlarge it to an 8 x10 print it, frame it and install it on the wall in the museum.
For names on the Heroes Wall Honored Forever that is located in front of the museum, the cost is $100.00 through December 31. In 2025, the price will increase to $200. The charge covers the cost of engraving. The museum does not profit from this project.
The museum is a nonprofit, volunteer driven operation with all income derived from donations and grants.
Tri-State Military Veteran Museum runs on donations and grants, and all are volunteers.
“Veterans do not have to be from Belmont County. Any Veteran that served or is serving needs to be Honored and I will make sure they are“, Skinner shared on a social media post this past week.
