In 2015, World War II hero and veteran Ralph Barrale envisioned a museum that would honor all who served their country, with a special emphasis on those from his hometown. By 2019, after a tremendous grassroots effort, the St. Charles County Veterans Museum was established in O’Fallon, Missouri. Then, in 2023, Ralph's vision expanded, and the museum was renamed the Mid America Veterans Museum! Thus, the dream and the mission continue and reach further than ever before. As Ralph would say, "No one is ever really gone, as long as memories of them remain."
It is in that spirit and in honor of Ralph's dream that we proudly present to you "Operation Insight"! Join your hosts, Gold Star son Jason Galvan & former Army paratrooper Ethan Groce, as they launch the inaugural episode of this new and improved program. To kick things off right, they are joined by Nina DeAngelo, Executive Director of our museum.
