Today marks a milestone for both Savannah and our nation as we honor the 83rd anniversary of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, formed right here in Savannah in 1942. Known for their bravery during World War II, they played an important role in securing the Allied victory.
Unlike many memorials around the world, there is no battlefield in the sky where loved ones can remember their fallen. The Mighty Eighth Museum is a place where veterans, families, and residents can come honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
