One of our favorite things to do throughout the year, but if we’re visiting one over the holiday, we’re sure to pick one war-related.
Favorites in the past have been the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL, (it has an amazing section dedicated to the Vietnam War, and we greatly enjoyed learning more about the ship my grandfather served on in WWII) and the Perry’s Victory & International Peace Monument and Museum in Put in Bay, OH, (officers from both sides were buried here after the War of 1812).
Often overlooked, but one you don’t want to skip is the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial in Kansas City. If you happen to be in Alabama a good museum to go to is the U.S. Veterans Memorial Museum. It has artifacts and memorabilia from the Revolutionary War to present Day. They even have the oldest surviving jeep: the Ford Pygmy.
