Battlefield Trust and the Daughters of the American Revolution are sponsoring a traveling display on the American Revolution.

Check the link below for tour dates and locations. Perhaps we volunteers can get folks out to increase interest in our heritage and in turn to our events.

My father didn't serve in WWII.  It wasn't for lack of trying.  He attempted to enlist 3 separate times.  The last time the doctor said he was too short.  He responded that he signed up again because he said he saw a poster that was recruiting short men to be pilots.  The doctor said, "Short, yes.  But this is ridiculous."  In my book, he's still a hero.

Thanks for posting that. I visited the exhibit last weekend in Rochester, MI. Honestly, I was disappointed. But, glad I went. The displays are a paragraph or two about various folks from that time period.

It took about 20 minutes to read through the entire exhibit. I will say, the exhibit was well balanced between both sides of the conflict.(Which is something not often found. And I appreciated that.)

Bottom line:
1. I'm glad I went.
2. I learned a couple new things.
3. If I had driven more than 20 minutes to get there, I would have been very unhappy.

If you get the chance to visit close to home, go and let me know what your thoughts are.

Respectfully,
Miki

Thanks for the review. I'd have been ticked off to have driven that far for such a meager exhibition.
