Long after all of us are dead and gone, people need to know what a debt of gratitude we really owe all those who participated in the war. That stands for the men and women who cranked out the equipment for the war machine also.
On the same note, I watched a Netflix documentary called "Spitfire" The plane that saved the world. I encourage all of you to see it. It was an awesome history lesson, as well as just plain cool.

I'll always support any U.S. Military museum or memorial, that's one of the only ways the word gets out about the past, the MSM could care less.
My Dad was in France and Germany during WWII, my Mom was installing cockpit gauges on B-26 Marauders at Martins in Middle River, MD.
