After 12 years of transforming an empty armory into a revered tribute to Nebraska’s heroes, veteran and museum founder Jerry Meyer is retiring—driven by physical limitations but buoyed by pride in his legacy. A 32-year National Guard veteran and former history teacher, Meyer turned the museum into a living classroom, engaging youth and communities through storytelling and outreach. Supported by his wife Mary, who ran the gift shop and events, and a devoted local volunteer base, the museum thrived under his leadership, earning a community service award. Now, Doug York will step in as the new director, ensuring the museum continues honoring Nebraska’s service members past and present. Meyer and his wife look forward to hitting the road in their new camper, carrying their love for the country wherever they go.
