Special day coming for veterans Millville Army Air Field Museum (Pangburn III '78)
MILLVILLE, NJ — Chili and cornbread is in store 7 November at Veterans Appreciation Day, a special choice for an all-day celebration the Millville Army Air Field Museum holds every year at the airport here.
Next Saturday will be the 25th time local veterans have come together to remember and to mingle with new and regular visitors to the museum. A few veterans are older than the airport itself, which was the first air defense base in the United States when it opened 85 years ago.
A Millville native, Charles Pangburn, is the guest speaker on 7 November Pangburn is a retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel as well as a museum advisory board member.
Pangburn completed 30 years of active and reserve service. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, he held command positions throughout the United States and overseas, including Okinawa, Korea and Iraq.
