The U.S. Army Infantry Museum

This is the museum. It's the only museum solely dedicated to the U.S. Army Infantry.
Andrew Summers Rowan was the messenger who braved hardship and possible death to carry a letter and deliver it safely to Garcia behind enemy lines in a battle that took place during the Spanish-American War. His story was written by Elbert Hubbard. More on him can be found here.
Isn't it remarkable that food can keep like this!
I found the posters to be very interesting.
This is the uniform that was worn when Grandpa Chandler was in the Army. Fortunately he never had to go to battle. His valuable work was in radio communications.
Dog Tags used to look like this.
I thought of my garden at home when I saw this poster. I hope the fruits of our garden really will make our rations go farther. If it does we will truly have won a victory!!
We visited Pearl Harbor when we were in Hawaii. This map shows very clearly where Pearl Harbor is and also where Schofield Barracks are, where Suzanne and Jared's family lived.
And this is how Mark spent his days at Fort Benning.
