The museum celebrates the lives and sacrifices of U.S. Armed Forces Medal of Honor and Cross recipients.
As they say on their Web site, “Membership is not achieved by birth, social position, political appointment, wealth [or] academic achievement…” Only extraordinary heroism in the line of duty, or “gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life … against an enemy of the United States,” can earn a soldier, sailor, airman or marine a spot in this illustrious legion.

Roeding Park is one of three regional city parks in Fresno, California - the others are Woodward Park. and the Regional Sports Park. The 90-acre (360,000 m2) Roeding Park includes a lake, several ponds, and groves of ash, cedar, pine, and eucalyptus, maple, and redwood trees and houses Fresno's Chaffee Zoo as well as picnic areas, tennis courts and horseshoe pits. The park also has a Japanese War Memorial.
The park also has an amusement park (Playland) operated by local area rotary clubs and Storyland, an amusement park with a fairy tale theme. Storyland is geared toward younger children. The park has a series of interactive scenes from well-known stories and fairytales. During the summer, a troupe of local students performs plays at an amphitheatre in the park based on fairytales. This is a time of change in Roeding Park. In the last year the park has been working hard to raise attendance and remind people of their mission. Further in 2006 a new Executive Director, Barry Falke was hired. Storyland & Playland are both 501(c)(3) organizations.
The Chaffee Zoo recently received a big break with the passing of Measure Z, which added a tenth of a cent city sales tax benefiting the zoo. Along with the tax, the zoo has changed from being city operated to being run by a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. The land, exhibits and animals themselves are still owned by the City of Fresno but leased to the Fresno's Chaffee Zoo Corp. The tax allowed for the hiring of Donna Fernandes from the Buffalo Zoo as the new director in 2005, but she left after only 3 months to return to her previous job. Lewis Greene, from the Virginia Zoo, was then hired as director in 2006 and secured an extension of AZA accreditation. Major changes and improvements at the zoo are in store in the upcoming years although the descendants of the original Roeding family are threatening a lawsuit if the zoo attempts to expand further into the park donated to the city by their ancestors for the purpose of a "public park."
