Sp4 Byron Skinner I have not been to all of the military museums in the country but her are four. In my native city of San Diego but there are two must see military museums. The U.S.S. Midway, an example of getting it done right. I will admit I'm a member of the Museum and had a very minor part in getting it to San Diego. The second Museum is the Marine Corp Museum at the San Diego Marine Corp Recruit Depot. This Museum is about as solum as you can get, it presents the history of the Corps and it temporary exhibits are always so inspiring and moving it is unbelievable. My wife years ago took her Cub Scout Den to the MCRD Museum. One of the fathers was a peacenik but he wa so taken he stayed the full day long after we got the kids back, he was moved. The other two. The National Museum of The Pacific War in Fredericksburg Texas, if you go to Texas just to visit this Museum the trip was worth it Interactive almost to a fault, but you can fight all of the major engagements of the Pacific War on interactive boards. The last is closed till summer call before you go. Due to reopen in late Summer. Its in Chicago Ill. At Cantingly Park. The First Division Museum This museum puts you right in the bunker, Fox Hole, Hooch or what eve was the name of where GI's tries to get away from the shells. They get so damn much right that the very few wrong items or buttons makes no difference. The Vietnam exhibit was a sandbagged bunker and as a touch they raised the temp and humidity and even got the smells right. The gentleman I went there with was a Vietnam Platoon Leader and he was knocked over by it. You don't have to be from or even like and admire the "Big Red One" (the 1/16 Infantry and 2/26 Infantry can suck my——, and the supply Depot at Xeon and Xuan Loc are still a bunch of dumb shits. Who don't want to resupply any unit if its not from the 1 ID. That said the Cantingly Museum in Chicago is first rate and I know when it reopens it will be better yet, I don't know how but they will. None of these Museum's promote war and in many subtle ways that most visitors I'm sure don't notice are anti-war, like in the !st Division Museum they reproduced the bunks from the troop ships with the giraffe from the underside of the bunks from three wars. Or the patients on a hospital ship returning from the European Theater after WW I.

My two most memorable that I have visited was Arlington National Cemetary and the Point Du Hoc memorial.

Gettysburg.

I have been to many of the battlefields of the Revolution, Civil War and Korea. Gettysburg is by far is the most memorable. Every time I go I can feel the energies of the battle. I can feel the solemn quiet as if the fields were guarded by the soldiers lost on the field.

While most do not view it as an military site, I'd say Washington, D.C. Why? British burned it to the ground during the War of 1812 and almost cost us our country.

Been to more than I can count but Normandy gets my vote. Omaha & Utah beaches; German gun enplacements; and above all else, the US cemetery. Next to Antitem it's the most serene place I've ever visited.

Our National Cemeteries, the Viet Nam and Korean War Memorials..... They reflect real names and how real Soldiers of our times supported each other, one other that is not American but was just as solemn and inspiring for everyone who visits the Canadian WWl Memorial in Vilmay France.
