At The Mighty 8th Museum
Greetings to Members and Friends of the 457th BG Association:
November 2013 marks the launch of the Fund Drive to restore the “Mosaic Star” of the 8th Air Force.
We are pleased to announce progress is being made.
Now is the time to consider a donation to finish this important work at The Mighty 8th Museum!
Most are unaware that this beautiful 16-foot square Terrazzo Concrete Star was created by WPA Artisans. The Star was created in the center of the floor of the Operations Building at Hunter Field just prior to World War II.
Many Bomb Groups received training at Hunter Field before going overseas between 1942-1945. The footsteps of countless young Airmen walked upon this Symbol of the Army Air Corps.
This Star when completely restored will rest in the center of the Columbarium directly behind the “Chapel of the Fallen Eagles.”
Our Goal for this Historic Restoration is $25,000.
All Donations are Tax Deductible!
