It’s amazing to see how far the Interpretive Center has come in 4 years! Here’s a video from late 2019 featuring Siouxland Freedom Park President, Mike Newhouse and retired South Sioux City High School teacher, Steve Shadle, on the importance of opening the Interpretive Center.<\/p>\n

Throughout the Brigadier General Bud and Doris Day Interpretive Center, interactive displays, memorabilia, and exhibits share the powerful, personal stories of Siouxland veterans. Visitors can travel with them through each phase of the Military Life Cycle: Enlistment\/Induction, Life in Uniform, Leaving Home, Coming Home, and Reintegration and Adjustment.<\/p>\n
The gabled peak at the entrance of each exhibit represents \u201chome\u201d as service members tell what it was like to leave the comforts of civilian life to serve, faced the challenges of returning after life-changing experiences, and the emotional reunions with family who anxiously waited to welcome them back. Each branch of the service is represented, and touch screen monitors allow visitors to hear first-hand from individual veterans. Thirteen uniforms displayed in the Mike Newhouse Presentation Theatre represent service members from WWI to present day.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re invited to come learn, explore, and reflect on the sacrifices made for the freedom we enjoy every day. Knowing that every individual will experience this emotional journey differently, please be respectful of other visitors as you tour the Interpretive Center. Siouxland Freedom Park volunteers will be happy to assist you and welcome your questions and comments.<\/p>\n
Additional Exhibits are being planned:<\/p>\n
