Year End Giving
Giving Tuesday has come and gone, but there’s still time to make your year-end donation to the PMML. Your generous donation will support some incredible projects moving forward in the next few years including the opening of the Pritzker Military Archive Center in Somers, WI and the transformation of our downtown space into a 21st century museum space with interactives, simulators and multiple engagement points. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted.
Toys for Tots
Help Us Make Holiday Wishes Come True!
There's just a few days left to drop off a gift at the Museum & Library to take part in this year's U.S. Marine Corps Reserves Toys for Tots program.

Now through Saturday, December 10, the PMML invites the community to stop by the Museum & Library to drop off a new, unwrapped toy for children in need this holiday season. While donations for children from newborn to age 13 are accepted, the need is especially great for children 0-3 and 10-13 years of age.

With the holidays around the corner, here's a wonderful opportunity to make a child's holiday wish come true!

Genealogical resources provided by the PMML
The winter holidays are often filled with family gatherings. Make the most of yours by capturing family memories by talking with family members about their lives and military service using genealogical prompts from books available through the Museum & Library.

A good title to consider starting with is Jennifer Holik’s Stories from the World War II Battlefield: World War II Writing Prompts. The prompts in this volume work for more recent conflicts too.
