This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Every aircraft at the New England Air Museum represents not only aviation history, but also the people behind it — the pilots, crews, mechanics, and servicemembers whose sacrifices will never be forgotten. ❤️

As you spend time with loved ones this weekend, we invite you to take a moment to reflect and remember those who never made it home.

NEAM is open this Memorial Day, from 9AM–4PM.
