“Holiday shoppers will not only be able to find quality gifts filled with inspirational, historical and educational value but, through their purchases, they help us fulfill our vision of honoring every Airman's story with a permanent home to inspire future generations,” stated Melinda Lawrence, Chief of Museum Store Operations at the Air Force Museum Foundation.

Lawrence continued, “The Air Force Museum Store is so much more than a leading specialty retailer for aviation and military-themed merchandise. It is a meaningful connection to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force – the world’s largest military aviation museum.”
