On March 18 the Veterans History Museum of the Carolinas held a ceremony to formally dedicate the Air Force Room to the memory of Lt. Col. Ed Cottrell, WWII P-47 pilot. Before he passed away in March of 2025, Ed gave many talks on behalf of the Veterans Museum that resulted in generous donations. At his request, his daughter Sue Nation donated a scale model of his P-47 for display along with a diorama and an art print depicting Ed’s missions during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII.
