World War II

Today I went to a museum in Fredricksburg, TX:

I feel amazed by how much our lives are connected to all of the people who lived, fought, and hoped during World War II. Before my visit to the museum today, it seemed like the war happened a long time ago. That feeling totally changed today as I watched a couple of WWII veterans and their wives looking at the museum's Memorial Wall:

Also, did you know that 10 consecutive American presidents, starting with FDR and ending with George Bush, served in the military during WWII?
