WW1 Museum

For Memorial Day we visited the WW1 Museum.  The normal cost is $18 but for Memorial Day, veterans are free and for everyone else 1/2 price ($9).  I thought this would be the time to go.

Flags in front of the enterance


Flags of Forgotten Soldiers
140 flags represent a veteran lost to suicide in one week
One lost every 72 minutes


From the patio - a great view of the Western Auto Sign


Quite the view

I took so many pictures.  This is a great museum and is of the highest quality.  There are volunteers everywhere to answer questions or tell a story.  I did not pay for the 2 special exhibits or going up into Liberty Tower.  Although I can only image what the view must look like, I thought the free view was beautiful.  

If you like history this museum should be on your list.

I'm still working on the storage area.  The last 2 pieces of furniture I'm getting rid of will be picked up on Wednesday.  I'm tired of moving furniture.  Hopefully next week I will start painting again.  I really need to stop putting off the painting and just finish it.  

Until tomorrow.
