Veteran's Memorial

We drive by a Veteran's Memorial every time we go to Hunstville.  The boys always want to stop because there are army vehicles and helicopters sitting out front.  We finally took the time one day to go.  It was a very fun day.  They have veterans who will give you a guided tour through the memorial.  There are artifacts from all the different wars and time periods. Uniforms, papers, pictures, letters, models and so much more.  It would take you days to read everything that is in the museum.  We had a nice tour guide and the boys asked some great questions.  While on the tour an older gentleman came up and asked the boys if they liked to play army.  Of course they do!  He took them to a artifact room and let them try on lots of uniforms!  They were even able to hold real guns, knives and a bayonnet!  They loved it!  After we walked through then entire building they told the boys that they had unlocked the helicopter gate and they could go sit in it!  Oh man!  Talk about some excited boys!  Camaron declared "Museums are the best place ever"!
