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.
