National Ice Cream Day at The National Museum of the Pacific War

Description

Join the National Museum of the Pacific War as we celebrate 2026 National Ice Cream Day! During WW2, ice cream served (pun intended) as a morale booster and a lifesaver! Ice cream barges made 500 gallons of ice cream a day, bringing smiles and a little taste of home to servicemen across the Pacific. The USS Kidd famously flew a pirate flag and “ransomed” back downed airmen with this sweet treat. Not to mention the innovative pilots who flew high-altitude “reconnaissance” missions to make their own ice cream!
