HEARTLAND OF AMERICA
|
History
Omaha has long been one of the most popular convention and reunion centers in the nation for military veterans. The storied military history of the community, with Fort Crook and Fort Omaha in the past to the vital role of Offutt Air Force Base, the Strategic Air Command, and now the United States Strategic Command, have solidified the connection between Omaha and America's veterans.
The Heartland Airborne Memorial is a testimonial to the persistence, patience, tireless work and vision of Airborne veterans in our community and region who stayed the course in completing their mission, and to the many benefactors who joined in this campaign. Their efforts have resulted in a magnificent patriotic display for all to honor and to appreciate.
