"We Are All Recruiters" (WEAR)
 | While it is the job of the military recruiter to tell people about the benefits of being part of our nation's armed forces, recruiters by themselves are limited in their abilities to interact with the number of quality young men and women needed to take our defense team into the 21st century. To solve this problem, the "We Are All Recruiters" (WEAR) program was started.
WEAR's aim is to encourage everyone in the military "family" -- both active duty and retired -- to become involved in the recruiting process. Either by active participation or by simply being an ambassador for their branch of the service, everyone associated with the military can help recruit the talent needed for the future.
The museum gratefully acknowledges the support of our local military recruiting offices, especially Lt. Col. John W. Andresen, US Air Force (retired), Staff Sergeant James M. Glauser, US Army, Gunnery Sergeant Cornelius J. Miller, US Marine Corps, and Senior Airman Sean O. Sawyers, US Air Force. They acquired the vintage recruiting posters, uniforms, and other items featured in this exhibit. We would also like to thank the Rantoul Rotary Club for their help in bringing this new and exciting exhibit to our community, particularly Rotarians (and museum volunteers) Earl Weichel, Roger Little, and George Hebling. |  |  |
