[b]Astronaut Among New Michigan Heroes Museum Board Members[/b] The home to over 850 personal stories of our state’s military veterans and astronauts added seven members to their board of directors. Among these are a former NFL quarterback, a former NASA astronaut, former and current members of the Michigan House of Representatives, the grandson of a WWII Veteran, a retired US Army Brigadier General, and a former officer in the US Army. “We are so excited to add these amazing individuals to our board of directors,” said board president Greg Rummel. “All of them already Honor, Respect, and Remember our great state’s military and space heroes every day. They will certainly help us as we continue to keep the memories of our heroes alive, but also as we strive to expand our world-class exhibits into the world-class facility which they deserve.” [b]COL Gregory H.
