Survey for Local Military Veterans

Please tell us about your experiences in military service including branch, units, ranks, places and years served, military specialties, commendations received and other pertinent experiences. The compilation of the surveys is available for viewing in the Military Room at the Museum. If you or a loved one have Excelsior Springs ties and served in the military, please fill out our survey.
