A new collection of World War II memorabilia is now on display in the John B. Mahaffey Museum -- thanks to a generous donation from Lt. Col. Orville Bill Munsons Family. In the museum world we are always looking for ways to tell a big story with a small artifact. Medals are a great way of accomplishing this, said Troy Morgan, U.S. Army Engineer Museum, director. During the Munson Familys visit to Fort Leonard Wood, May 30, they donated a shadow box filled with the renowned engineers medals, which include a Distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star and several Purple Hearts. Munson passed away from cancer in 2012. His son, Curt Munson, said his dads legacy would live on through the donation.
