I strongly recommend that if you have slightest bit of interest in history, you take a visit here.

And beware, to truly absorb it, you'll need about 3-4 visits (if you plan to read everything in every display) :medals::applause::salute:

Museums are having a difficult go of it now. I know the National D-Day Museum was threatened with its survival a few years back.

Hey Soos, is that a Kyofu float plane fighter..???
 
Been there many times Panther and it is always a great visit. How are you liking San Antonio and surrounding hill country towns? San Antonio is home turf for me. I miss it!

It's switched to a more general WWII museum now. Last time I was there they had a lot of really neat stuff from the pacific theater.

Lifejogger,
You know what moved me most about my visit today :ques:

It was watching the expressions of all the WW-II veterans that were also there....:medals:
 
Looks like a very athmospheric museum, and you captured the look and feel of it with your great pictures.

Thanks P.
