Best Thing to Show Out-of-Town Visitors • Best Museum Airborne & Special Operations Museum 100 Bragg Blvd. 910-643-2766 or www.asomf.org The Airborne & Special Operations Museum is a place of importance, honor and beauty, and downtown Fayetteville is its proud home. Nearby Fort Bragg houses the 82nd Airborne Division and Joint Special Operations Command, so what better place could there be for the only muse- um in the country dedi- cated to all Army airborne and special operations units? Established in 2000, the ASOM tells the story of America's heroes and pre- serves and honors their memories and sacrifices. The museum has permanent and temporary exhibits, a parade field lined with monuments, a reflection gar- den, two simulator experiences and more, all providing education about and homage to the military history of U.S. airborne and special operations soldiers from 1940 to the present. Extra events include military-related movie showings and book signings, 5Ks, National Airborne Day celebrations and ceremonies honoring different individu- als and units. Every year, the museum sees thousands of visitors: local schools, volunteer veterans who share their stories with other visitors, gold star family members, those seeking to understand more about our military, and people all over the world. Admission is free, and donations are appreciated.
