Our mission at The Museum of Military History is to educate, increase awareness, build knowledge and understanding of the American military experience.
In 2003, the Museum of Military History started life in a tent at the Vietnam Veterans Traveling Memorial Wall in St. Cloud, Florida. Vietnam Veteran, Jerry Kervin and his brother Jim, along with Vietnam Vet, Dave Roberts, had an idea that they should ask the manager of the Osceola Square Mall in Kissimmee, Florida if they could use a store front in the mall to permanently display items that had been donated and loaned by members of Vietnam Veterans Association (VVA), Osceola County Chapter 755. The three charter members called their display, the "Veterans Tribute" at the time.
This museum provides an historical glimpse into our military heritage, with heroic accounts of bravery and sacrifices from those who have fought to maintain our freedom. Our exhibits are well worth a visit with hundreds of genuine artifacts, military relics, photographs and memorable accounts by former soldiers. It is important to point out that this is a museum only in the sense that military items are displayed here. Our main goal is to pay tribute to those who served while preserving our history and reaching out to help educate our youth. We do recognize the future of our great country is in the hands of our future leaders and these leaders are in the classroom today ... They are our legacy tomorrow!
