Soldiers Memorial Military Museum

After 10+ years, we’re bidding adieu to Twitter/X. We’ll be focusing our efforts over on Facebook and Instagram if you’d like to follow us there! See you around.

@MarkReardonKFTK Soldiers Memorial Military Museum is flying the STL version of the Pride flag in honor of @pridestl happening this weekend.

Just out of curiosity…is this a St. Louis City flag “prideified” in front of the Soldiers Memorial downtown? And if so…WHY???

Memorial Day Observance begins at 10am. This is also your last day to see “Vietnam: At War and At Home” before it closes. #MemorialDay #SoldiersMemorial

@SoldiersStLouis I think his year of birth is wrong, it would make home 13 when wounded!
