In recognition of Women’s History Month, our museum is honored to highlight the career of Major General Sheila Zuehlke through a recent and significant acquisition. In 2025, the Museum received a donation consisting of several of her military uniforms. Since their arrival, the uniforms have been fully cataloged, professionally photographed, rehoused in archival materials, and placed in secure collections storage. Although not currently on public display, this virtual spotlight allows us to share the history and leadership embodied in this important addition to the collection.

Uniforms are more than garments. They are material records of service. They document rank, authority, and responsibility while preserving the institutional history of the eras in which they were worn. The Zuehlke collection reflects more than three decades of national service during a period marked by rapid technological transformation, shifting global threats, and the formal integration of cyberspace as an operational domain within the United States Air Force.
