Chennault Celebration
The Chennault Aviation and Military Museum was honored to host a Chinese delegation for a special event in August to honor General Claire Chennault’s 125th Birthday year and Victory over Japan Day. The museum was presented with several works of art from Chinese artists to commemorate the occasion. The International Lions Club President gave the Chinese delegation a gift in honor of their country being the largest Lion’s Club in the world. Museum director Nell Calloway thanked international and local media who covered the event and everyone who made the evening possible. The museum continues to work to strengthen the public’s memory of a time when China and the United States worked together toward a common goal.
