Santa Draws Record Crowds
Attendance more than tripled from 2008
The National Military History Center was host to more than 600 people Thursday, Dec. 3 during the 2nd annual "A Night with Santa" event. Hundreds of children turned out with their Christmas lists in tow to sit on Santa's lap and tell the man in red what they wanted for Christmas.
"We anticipated the event would grow, but not this much," said NMHC Executive Director Bob Krafft. "We are so pleased with the turnout, and grateful to the community for its support. We love to offer events like these for free, and with attendance like this, we can continue to do so."

The WWII Victory Museum is now the National Military History Center
This is more than a name change! This is the marking of the start of the next phase in creating a museum complex honoring our nation’s military and its remarkable soldiers, sailors and airmen who have guaranteed our freedoms for more than 200 years.
The complex will spotlight the service and sacrifice of America’s military through a variety of museum units and major galleries dedicated to Young America’s military, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War, and today’s War on Terror. This newest phase of growth will create the unprecedented American Veterans Hall of Honor and Veterans Research Library. The library will not only be a research tool, but will preserve a variety of materials for future generations.
