Armed Forces Military Museum

Today Thursday 8th, we went over to the Armed Forces Military Museum in Largo, FL. First impression of the museum was nice layout and very interesting and mind grabbing displays. As I began my walk through, the first display I notice was the military base with the train. I especially liked this display cause the people weren't in stationary pose; they were swimming, barbecuing, marching, standing at ease while the commander spoke, running, diving, fishing, and so on. The interesting thing was that it displayed both the military aspect as well as the daily life of the military family.

In one of our previous classes, we read "I Am Writing Blindly". I saw in one of the exhibits a solider in an trench. In this trench was a cot, a pair of pajama bottoms, a pet bird, a radio, and a pillow with a letter written to his wife. This reminded me of Kolesnikov writing a message to his wife while he waited for death. I couldn't make out everything written on the pillow but I made out the beginning and end. He wrote "To my wife, my darling little wife ... you made my dreams come true". He addressed it with Fort Niagara, NY.
