Nimitz Museum

[1bad65]

We went to the National Museum of the Pacific War recently.

It was a fascinating visit. It has alot of historical information, pictures, recordings, and exibits. There is an actual PT boat and a Japanese midget sub from Pearl Harbor there, among other things. If anyone is ever in the Central Texas area, and interested in this chapter of our nation's history, I would suggest a visit.

How's the propaganda?

I guess it's eased off somewhat seeing as people are coming to grips finally with the horrible error that was the allowance of WW2 to occur due to global apathy ...but wait a minute...


How does a pacific war museum wind up in Texas anyway?

:p

last year at Oktoberfest, my wife and i were standing out front, contemplating going in.
she was worried that being Japanese, it might not be kosher.
love Fredericksburg though.

Dave- Nimitz was born there.

It was all facts. It even had a full scale model of one of the nukes we dropped on those war criminal's country.

It ended up in Fredericksburg because Admiral Nimitz was born and grew up there.

It would have been fine. We saw people of all ages and backgrounds. There is also a Japanes garden of peace, built by the Japanese themselves.

The most decorated unit in WWII, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, was a Nisei unit. They fought mainly in Italy.
