•  The museum hosts numerous Veteran outreach programs.  We serve as the primary location for the General Claire Chennault Flying Tigers Chapter 51 Disabled American Veteran Group.  This group provides numerous services including Veteran Appeal Assistance, rides to appointments and community outreach.

• We also have offered PTSD support meetings  and many outreach programs for local veterans continuously. We continue to support our most recent veterans as well as our eldest veterans. Chennault Foundation hosts events like Welcome Home Vietnam Veteran programs, our Holiday Honor Trees and Honor Walk 365.
