On this day in 2008, Gov. Perry participated in the groundbreaking of a 40,000-square-foot expansion of the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, tripling the size of the current building. The museum is the only institution in the continental United States dedicated exclusively to telling the story of the Pacific Theater battles of World War II. “When the men and women remembered in the National Museum of the Pacific War answered their country’s call to serve, they set aside concerns for their own safety and prepared to do whatever it took to conquer the forces of oppression,” said Gov. Perry. “Their actions have inspired our nation and the world for more than 60 years. And thanks to this museum, that story will endure and inspire for hundreds more.”
