Having gone through the Alamo and the ww2 pacific memorial museum in Fredericksburg the last couple of days, it is an awe inspiring and solemn experience. I thought about what that generation of Americans would think of our leadership today, including Milley.

So many plaques in memory of those individuals who died. So young. And we end up with Xiden and heels up in a stolen election. And more dead Americans and allies in f***ed up withdrawal, now being compared to the Berlin airlift.

And the media fawns over this prick?

If you like the one in Fredericksburg, you would love the one in San Antonio.

Is that the Nimitz museum? If so I've visited twice when I lived in the area. Awe inspiring and very solemn as well. Truly the greatest generation!

It’s attached to the Nimitz museum. We toured it a few years ago. It’s really well done. I loved all the artifacts that they have on display.

And for the trivia, who was one of the largest holders of Alamo memorabilia (he has since donated to the museum in San Antonio)....Phil Collins.

Apparently as a boy he became enamored with Davey Crockett and as such the Alamo. When he became successful he started buying up relics.

Amazing how a "foreigner" realizes the value of history and many Americans dont.

C'mon man, history is in the past, like 4 or 5 days ago.
