The Fagen Fighters World War II Museum in Granite Falls, Minnesota is dedicated to honoring all World War II veterans. Founded by Ron Fagen, whose late father Ray fought in the war, the museum pays tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of those who served. Fagen believes that the veterans were all courageous and did what was necessary by following orders.
The museum features a collection of vintage warplanes and vehicles, drawing visitors from around the world. Fagen has noticed a significant number of people coming from countries such as France, England, and Germany, in addition to those from the United States. He attributes the museum’s popularity to the idea that if you build it, they will come, a sentiment that has proven true in this case.
As part of their special events, the museum recently commemorated the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion, highlighting the significance of this historic event in World War II. The museum plays an important role in preserving the memory of those who served in the war and educating visitors about this pivotal period in history.
