The Miami Valley Veterans Museum is a not-for-profit
501(c)(3) organization. We are currently funded by fund raisers, donations and our memberships. We will also
be applying for grants to fund ongoing exhibits, displays, and educational programs. Additionally, our collection of
artifacts, photographs, documents, uniforms, memorabilia, books and artwork are donated by veterans and their families.

Mission
Our mission is to honor, preserve and perpetuate the memory and dignity
of the men and women who have served in the U. S. Armed Forces, Coast Guard, and Wartime Merchant Marine. We support
the community through our museum activities, educational programs, oral histories, and community programs that keep alive
the contributions and experiences of those who served. All monies raised goes directly to supporting the MVVM's programs
and operations.
The mission of the museum began in the summer of 2009 with the goal of
making sure that our veterans "Shall Not Be Forgotten".
Purpose
First and foremost, to honor and preserve the memory
of local veterans through a museum dedicated to their contributions, to create and protect the freedoms that we as Americans
enjoy. To serve as an educational tool that teaches youth about our military involvement throughout the world, and finally
to provide a unique tourist hotspot in Miami County.
