WW2 Museum questions
Posted on 10/13/15 at 4:47 pm

I visited the museum years ago when it first opened with my father who was a Veteran. He has since passed. His best friend is 92 but in remarkable shape. I want to take him to visit. I understand there is more to see in a day. Considering his age what parts should we focus on so he gets the most of it and maybe not tire too quickly. He served in the European theatre.
TIA

I would take a wheelchair and push him around. I also think you will find that he will have an energy about him in that environment that he hasn't had in a while. It may end up being pretty emotional for him also so you need to be prepared for that.
How did you dad like it when y'all went?

The movie they show there is pretty good(assuming they are still playing the 4D movie by Tom Hanks)

Road to Berlin just opened all about the European theater. Beyond all boundaries is the movie see it. He goes free as a WWII veteran. Plan to spend the day. Also they have wheelchairs there you can use

Do the Road to Berlin and do everything that was on that theatre -- as much as possible. The Pacific area is impressive, but worth missing if he didn't serve there. I am going back in the spring for my 4th visit.
I would avoid the Tom Hanks narrated movie if he's 92.

I would definitely bring him to the building with all the planes and tanks. He can do it in a wheelchair, and they have an elevator to each floor. When I went, there was a bunch of old people there, and an old dude telling stories.

Please do not do this, Op. It will not end well...
Question, do you know many men that age? Let alone WW2 vets? Im only 30, and my grandpa would flip his shite. Couple the loss of dignity(how they view it, not myself) with combat memories?
Ive never been to the place, but I recommend you not tell that man to sit in a chair while you move him around.
