Memories

Several people have inquired about a place to share their memories of my father. I hope that this site can serve that purpose. Please email me your relections - tiffinylorraine@mac.com - and I'll copy them onto this site. Please include your name, even if it is just a first name. Thanks.

10 Great Places to Learn U.S. Military History

As we approach Veteran's Day, I thought it would be appropriate to share this list, as published in USA Today on November 8, 2002. The article was in a box of memorabilia I inherited on my most recent trip to Starkville. Dad loved very little more than to stop at a historical marker, so I can only imagine that he intended to visit these ten places one day.

The National WWII Museum, New Orleans (Formerly The National D-Day Museum  
West Point Museum, West Point, N.Y.
U.S. Air Force Museum, Dayton, Ohio
