You have that connection, Robert, because he was your grandfather. This museum creates that connection even though you don’t know the individual they’re portraying. Thanks for commenting!

And you too, Delia, thanks for commenting!

And I agree it’s so sad that we keep lots of room on the banners for other wars to come 🙁

My Grandfather, rest his soul, was in WWII and had a large collection of war photos along with some over seas stamps and currency collection from his travels through Egypt and such.

It is so fascinating to go through all that stuff and see the history it presents.

I think the reenactments are a great idea that inspire some visual learning about history. It’s too bad this one is so far away, me being in the southern U.S., I would love to check that place out. Thanks for sharing such great detail about your visit!
