A teacher named Jeremy Newman presented the event I attended. He presented his montage of the Air Victory Museum. The video was fast paced, energetic, and had rocking background music. Somewhat the kind of music you would hear in an 80’s fighting montage. The video contained all aspects of flight from early airplanes, to marine helicopters, all the way to N.A.S.A. videos.
The Air Victory Museum is located in Lumberton, New Jersey. For those not from West Jersey like myself, that is near the Cherry Hill/ Medford area. It is volunteer run mostly by veterans. They are not funded by the state. They run entirely on private donations. If you’re ever in the area, there are tours Wednesday through Saturday, from 10am to 4pm. The tours are fairly inexpensive.
Jeremy Newman was looking for a way to give back to the community and volunteer. He stumbled upon an Air Victory Museum article in the newspaper. He said he loves airplanes, so this was right up his alley. I admire Jeremy’s passion to help others, especially veterans who fought and served for our country. What I learned is there should be more people who are selfless in this aspect to volunteer their time and skills to those who need them.
