Dear Marion,

This is the time of year when we ask you and all our Charter Members to renew their annual support of The National World War II Museum.

Thanks to generous members like you, exciting things are happening. Construction is under way on the John E. Kushner Restoration Pavilion, and we recently began driving piles for the foundation of the United States Freedom Pavilion: Land, Sea & Air.

None of this would have been possible without your support!

But there is still much work to do, and we need your help now more than ever as we enter a critical phase in the Museum’s expansion.

We are deep into the design and planning of the next great building in our expansion: the Campaigns Pavilion. This pavilion will present all significant battles of World War II in Europe, the Mediterranean and the Pacific using interactive exhibits and new technologies that will tell the story of the war like never before.

I’m pleased to report we’ve raised about $20 million of our $42 million goal for the Campaigns Pavilion. But we must raise an additional $22 million before we can build this tribute to the heroes who saved the world from tyranny and oppression.

Your continued support is critical to our success.

That’s why I’m hoping you will take a moment today to renew your membership of The National World War II Museum for 2011.

With your support today, we will fulfill our promise to complete the finest World War II Museum anywhere in the world while we still have WWII veterans alive to see it.

Sincerely,

Terri L. Burton
