Camp Gordon Johnston Museum expanding its exhibits


The Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is expanding its exhibits to include WWII, Korea and VietNam.

The expansion is still in the initial stages, so anyone who wishes to donate articles or photos for scanning from these conflicts should contact Linda Minichiello or Bobbye Winchester at 697-8575.

Please keep in mind that while photos will be scanned and the originals returned, due to special insurance requirements, all articles or items must be freely donated and will become the property of the Camp Gordon Johnston Association.

The museum has secured tracings from the Viet Nam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. for the five Franklin County residents killed during the war.

Those names are Robert O’Neal Cato, James Henry Clay, Clifford G. Rhodes, Herbert Eugene Smith and Robert C. Millender

If you are aware of additional Franklin County residents, who served in Viet Nam and paid the ultimate price, please contact the museum to have their tracings added to the exhibit.

Names of Korean War veterans killed in combat will also be added to the Korean War display.
