12th Armored Division Memorial Museum One of the longest videos we’ve posted. But could have been longer. This place was amazing. If you have an interest in history and WW2 you’ll need to check this place out. In downtown , you can learn about the local men and women who served.

National WASP WWII Museum is the only place in the US that women were taught to fly planes in WWII. It was such a fun place to experience what women did for our nation. These women led the way in so many areas and greatly accelerated the war. They trained and flew aircraft along with so many other duties. Next time you’re on Interstate 20, get out and take a walk around and learn about these amazing women.
