In a war that raged across the globe, 1.7 million New Yorkers served in America’s armed forces and millions more contributed to the nation’s enormous industrial production to help achieve victory. United for Victory examines the causes of the war and America’s general strategy and tactics, and highlights the contributions of each branch of service with a special emphasis on New York’s 27th Division.

Divided between the Pacific and European Theaters, the exhibition is filled with the uniforms, weapons, and equipment of the war, plus a selection of some of the wide variety of materiel produced in New York State.
