One of my favorite places to visit on a regular basis, this little local Museum is hosting a World War II exhibit beginning April 1st. For those of us raised on the history of WWII, this is a don't miss it opportunity! My father was a WWII veteran. He served in the US NAVY in both the North Atlantic and the South Pacific and I claim it as one of our greatest blessings that he returned safely as did my brother who served in Vietnam more than 20 years later. Our family was lucky indeed and you need only visit the monuments and cemeteries for both of these wars to empathise with the families that weren't so lucky, and that suffered the the tragic loss of their loved ones to these wars. But, we WON!! We defeated Fascism and Naziism and we saved the free world from tyranny and genocide. We celebrate the effort and the sacrifice of our World War II heroes and the veterans of all of our wars.

Hope you have a chance to visit this museum and see this exhibit. Maybe I will see you there!
