What is the admission fee for the widow of an Air Force veteran (25 years active duty) with a valid ID card?
Hi Marjorie: Free admission applies only to the retired veteran. However, we do offer a senior discount of $14.95. On behalf of the staff at the AFHM, we would like extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for your husband’s service. Sorry for your loss.
Thanks for your reply. I will be visiting the museum on Thursday, July 26 with my 8 year old grandson. I want to acquaint him with the family’s military history: his great-grandfather US Army, Battle of the Bulge and his grandfather,a US Air Force pilot in Viet Nam.
See you then.
Marge Fox
We will look forward to the visit Marge. Let us know if we can assist you in any way while you are here. I am sure your grandson will further appreciate the family history after he visits. Looks like we owe another thanks to you also for great-grandfather’s service.
Our visit was fantastic!! Collin was totally absorbed in the wonderful displays. He was even impressed when I told him that his Grandfather, his Mom ( 4 at the time ) and I visited the original MASH Unit while we lived in South Korea (Seoul) for a year. Thank you for creating this wonderful tribute to our military heroes. We will be back.
Thank you Marjorie for your feedback. It was great meeting you and Collin both. We look forward to your return visit(s)!! So glad he was able to see it all firsthand and got a better understanding the commitment his Grandfather and Great-grandfather made to this great country of ours.
Marjorie Fox it is free for retired military members 20 yrs plus with ID card
Exellent attention to detail. My dad served on a destroyer in both the European and Asian theatres. We know little of his experiences. Also, our families are from Ybor & West Tampa. When the community pool was named in Baldomero Lopez’s memory, we were all so very proud of his story.
Thank you all for honoring and preserving these men & women, their artifacts, our memories, our pride…
Thank you for visiting the museum Janet. We are so glad you enjoyed your tour and appreciate all your kind words. The story of Tampa’s own Baldomero Lopez is quite moving. For those who are unfamiliar, Baldomero Lopez was a young soldier killed on 9/15/1950 during the Korean War’s Inchon Landing when he smothered a live hand grenade with his body to protect his troops. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. The AFHM was quite honored when the Lopez family donated some of his personal belongings. They are included in a display case in our Korean War gallery, which has a life-size diorama depicting Lt. Lopez climbing the ladder just prior to his death, along with an oral history giving further details of this courageous soldier’s story. So many dedicated members of our military – past and present!
