There is strong sense of connection to the collection at the National World War I Museum for Mr. Brett Borg, of Lee’s Summit, Mo. Borg’s grandfather, Albert V. Borg, served in the United States Army towards the conclusion of the Great War. Mr. Borg says his grandfather “joined the Army late in the war.” He began his training and was prepared to serve his country; however, he remained in the United States for the duration of his service.
Albert V. Borg was raised on a farm in southwest Missouri. With a strong background in farm labor, he served the Army by working with horses at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. Albert, like so many during the World War I era, answered the call to serve his country in whatever capacity he could. He understood and felt compelled to aid his country by utilizing his talents and strengths.
Generations later, for the Borg family, the call is still being answered. Brett Borg shared that “the Museum is a wonderful and vital resource in telling the story of the Great War.” Brett is a consistent donor to the Annual Fund for the National World War I Museum and his generosity is truly inspiring. It is through his support and support from other donors that we are able to honor the memory of his grandfather and all who have served.
