The African American Military Heritage Society hopes to develop an educational experience which sparks an interest in African-American contributions to the United States through the military with a museum at Eglin Air Force Base

The African American Military Heritage Society will host a Caribbean Dinner Fundraiser at the Air Force Armament Museum on September the 9th, 2022 from 5-8:30pm.
