Located in the Baggage Claim area of Williston Basin International Airport (XWA), the Sloulin Brothers Photo Exhibit honors the extraordinary service and sacrifice of two Williston brothers who gave their lives during World War II.

The exhibit tells the stories of Second Lieutenant Kermit G. Sloulin, Company E, 164th Infantry Regiment, Americal Division, who was killed in action during the Battle of Guadalcanal in November 1942, and First Lieutenant Wesley C. Sloulin, a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot with the 32nd Bomb Squadron, who was killed in action in North Africa in January 1943.

Through family photographs, military documents, maps, wartime imagery, and personal artifacts, visitors gain a deeper understanding of the brothers' military service and the sacrifices they made in two of the most significant campaigns of World War II. The exhibit highlights not only their individual stories but also the enduring legacy of military service that continues to inspire the Williston community.

The exhibit was made possible through a collaborative effort between the Sloulin family, who generously provided photographs from their private collection; Jessica Delvo of Veridian North (formerly The Creative Dove), who designed the exhibit panels; Tammy Andre of Signs by Dan, who completed the framing and matting; and military historian Dave Holland, author of Guadalcanal's Longest Fight and Guadalcanal's Forgotten Fight: The U.S. Army's Crucial Role, who assisted with historical research, maps, and imagery for Kermit Sloulin's display.

Presented by the Military Affairs Committee, the exhibit ensures that the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of the Sloulin brothers will continue to be remembered by residents and visitors traveling through northwestern North Dakota.
