In the middle of Casino Drive, you'll find the Ramada Express Hotel
Casino. This is not your ordinary casino. Inside the 9,000 square foot
Pavilion Theater is the American Heroes Museum, a magnificent tribute
to our military heroes. The casino's commitment to the community and
to American Veterans has made it the local favorite and a popular
choice for Veterans.

The tribute to Veterans started when Susan Murphy, President and
General Manager of the Ramada Express, wanted to give something
special to her guests: memories.

"In 1996 we started a promotion called 'Back to the 40s' to honor
those Americans who gave so much to this country during World War II.
We filled our Pavilion with priceless WWII memorabilia and displays of
life on the home front, and opened it to the public," Murphy said. A
few years later we added a free multi-media show and a speaker
program.

"Unexpectedly, we began to receive all kinds of memorabilia from this
era that we now call the 'Greatest Generation.' Our exhibit had grown
into a fine tribute and we renamed it The American Heroes Museum. It's
was a wonderful collection of WWII memorabilia and it was free for our
visitors to enjoy," Murphy said.

Now, in 2003, we decided to "move on" once again. By including the
second half of the 20th century, we also embraced those Veterans of
more recent conflicts. Our American Heroes Museum of Memories now
includes memorbillia from WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. The new displays
are fabulous!
