We installed a new exhibit today in the museum. Russell Picket was 19 when he landed on Omaha Beach as a private in the 29th Infantry Division. his landing craft took a direct hit before he ever got on the beach. He was transported back to England where he was briefly hospitalized before returning to his unit. Picket would be wounded two more times before the end of the war and his return home. Come learn more about his story at the Southeast Veterans Museum here at The History Company.
