This monument, created by Preston Willingham, was donated by the Veterans Memorial Association of Apopka and dedicated on Veterans Day in 1988.

The DeLand Naval Air Station (DNAS) Museum is located at the DeLand Airport, the former site of the DeLand Naval Air Station that operated there from 1942 to 1946. The building that houses the museum dates back to 1926 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1994, local veterans and volunteers began restoration of the house to use as a museum to honor veterans. The museum was dedicated on November 11, 1995. (Author’s collection.)
