Honoring History through Art

Since 1961 the NCMSS has, as our motto says, worked “to honor history through art.” The theme of this year’s show will be 1944, commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Together with The Army Historical Foundation and Scale75 a nicely sculpted World War II paratrooper will be available for sale at the show to honor the heroes of the D-Day Landing.

This show promises to be a great one. If you have any questions or if you would like to help sponsor the show, please contact David Hoffman, Robert Prokop, or Scott Sheltz.

See you there!

Sincerely,

The NCMSS Washington Show Team
