MID AMERICA VETERANS MUSEUM
Every Veteran Has a Story
WELCOME TO THE MID AMERICA VETERANS MUSEUM
Ralph Barrale wanted to see a Veterans Museum that would honor all of those Veterans who served our country, and especially those from St. Charles County. This was but another example of Ralph Barrale’s dedication to our servicemen and women and his desire to keep their memories in the forefront of the generations of today so that our Veterans will not be forgotten.
The museum opened in the spring of 2019. There you will find “Ralph’s Story” among others like his, who served our country, because Ralph felt:
“No one is ever gone, as long as someone still has memories of them.“
Featured Story
BARRALE, RALPH S. JR.
In 1969 Ralph enlisted in the Navy and was off to Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Northern Illinois. Naval Station Great Lakes is the home of the United States Navy’s only boot camp, located near North Chicago, in Lake County, Illinois.
