When Lilly’s class visited Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum Trust, Inc., she didn’t just study history, she lived it. 
Armed with a clipboard
and curiosity
, Lilly explored exhibits on the Civil War and the U.S. Air Force, ending the day with a powerful memory: standing before a flag flown at Gettysburg, its bullet holes wearing the story of sacrifice and survival.
But the highlight? Director of Museum & Education, Tim Neff, surprising her and the entire group with personalized dog tags. Lilly now wears them proudly beside her brother’s Army tag, a symbol of her deepened connection to history and family. 
“It was like no other museum trip I’ve ever been on,” Lilly said.
Thank you to Tim Neff and the entire Soldiers & Sailors team for donating your time & this fieldtrip to bring history to life for our students!
