One of Mike’s musts for the trip was visiting the National World War II Museum. It is an ever changing, ever expanding museum. We have both gone before…but it looked nothing like what we saw today. We actually became members for a year so we can visit it multiple times. It is a bit overwhelming to take in all at once. We even have a bonus three months to visit.
Upon entering, you are given a “dog tag” card to scan as you board a train car simulator. It is the name of a solder or support person that you can follow during your visit and see what the experienced during the war. I was assigned a man from Athens, TX.
We also paid to watch a 4D movie that was very moving.
We were there for hours and only went through one building, watched the movie and had lunch. We will return next week for another visit.
