Visitors saw uniforms, weapons and gear, with stories from the Revolutionary War to the present day. Thomas Miller, the group's president, said the day lets the public see what a soldier's daily life is like.

“We also love bringing in the stories of veterans with veterans' honor programs and being able to have a space where veterans can come and if they might not be comfortable talking about their stories themselves, and bring their family to come to one of our presenters”
