I've been wanting to visit this museum for a while now. I have to tell you it was amazing.
Put it on your must visit list. https://www.theworldwar.org/ Just a few pics. Great museum. |

Been there a few times myself.
Always a very sobering experience, especially when you consider literally all the political and economic mishaps we are experiencing can be directly traced to that conflict. |

Has anyone ever figured out how they moved around so fast back then |

The wife and I went when we were in KC a few years ago. I thought it was very powerful. Something unique for the Midwest.

I was able to visit last year, very cool place. If you are still in KC, google Joe's Kansas City BBQ.

An awesome Museum, we toured it about 5 years ago. I'm glad I didn't miss it.
No1 Mk111's are well represented there |

Went there a few years ago and made a thread about it. One of the best museums I've been to.
Never been to any of the other National War Museums, are they just as good? |

Absolutely great museum. Took my father and boys there before he passed away. He really enjoyed it.

I was there dozens of times as a kid when it was just The Liberty Memorial. My Grandfather, a WWI vet, was at both dedications.

One thing I noticed on my recent trip to France and visiting the various sites, is that despite our very small part in the overall war, we do love some huge ass monuments. |

I went to the national WWII museum in New Orleans a few months ago and I enjoyed it. Although it was mostly me pointing at guns and telling my wife "I have one of those! And one of those! I don't have one of those ". I did the same at the WWI museum as well. Personally I enjoy the WWI museum a bit more because I am less familiar with that era and learned more while at the museum.

And IIRC it was privately funded when it was first made because someone realized there was no Great War memorial - and there should be one, then it was privately/donation funded for the renovation. View Quote |

Another one on the bucket list.
I went to the 45th Infantry Museum, The Thunderbirds this year, and it is well worth the trip. |

Seems like Jacks Stack catered almost every event I attended. It was good. The Majestic http://majestickc.com/ Is excellent. I've been there twice now. View Quote Never been to the Majestic. Been by there many times, should probably check it out sometime. Next time you come to KC, post in the MOHTF and maybe we can organize an Arfcom meetup. |
