Cathedral of the Pines, Part Two

The Peter J. Booras Museum at the Cathedral of the Pines in Rindge, New Hampshire houses hundreds of artifacts that have been donated to Cathedral of the Pines over the last 60 years, most of them from WWII.
A section of the museum celebrates the service of women in Armed Forces.

A wide variety of uniforms from all the armed forces are displayed throughout the museum.

Models of important planes of WWII are featured, along with information about them.

More than 59,000 nurses served during WWII, often near the front lines. This short video contains archival footage of the nurses arriving on the beach four days after D-Day.
Rosie the Riveter was an iconic poster that inspired women to serve their country at home, as well as by joining the armed forces, much like the real life “Rosie” shown above.

    1. You are very welcome. My dad was a paratrooper in the OSS who did night drops into occupied France. It so amazes me what the young men and women of WWII did for their country!
      Thanks for visiting.

  5. It’s good to know that women’s presence and contributions during the war are also getting acknowledged at this museum, though I suspect it took a while before they were so honored.

    I also read your comment about your Dad. I’m glad he survived. I wonder if he ever talked about his wartime experiences with you. He must have experienced many horrors.
