On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Lt. Colonel Erik Flint, retired former director of Lewis Army Museum at JBLM - Joint Base Lewis McChord - near Tacoma, Washington.

As reported by Jerry Cornfield for the Washington State Standard on July 1, 2025, the museum is on a list of similar military museums around the country now targeted for closure. According to Lt. Colonel Flint, questions - and controversy - surround the process by which Lewis Army Museum was added to the list by the U.S. Army Center of Military History.
