"After having to cancel our annual dance in 2020 due to the pandemic, we are beyond excited to bring this event back to
the community," said Barbara Storz, President of the DeLand Naval Air Station Museum. "This year's dance is not only a
celebration of our 30th anniversary but also a tribute to the resilience of our organization, our supporters, and the
military service members who inspire us."
The DeLand Naval Air Station Museum, founded in 1994, has dedicated the last 30 years to preserving and sharing the
history of the DeLand Naval Air Station, which played a pivotal role in training naval aviators during World War II. The
museum's programs and exhibits provide valuable historical insight and foster a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices of
veterans and their families.
