Join us for Saluting Our Military Week at Smithsonian in the Gap as we honor the service and sacrifice of those who have defended our nation—from the early days of frontier forts to the modern era of air and missile defense.

Through engaging presentations and expert-led discussions, explore the military legacy of our region, including the historic Texas Forts, the role of Tye Airfield in training WWII pilots, the evolution of Dyess Air Force Base, and the once-secret missile silos, now a historic marker of the Cold War era.

Come celebrate the brave men and women who have shaped our military history and continue to protect our freedom.
