Unbelievable museum!!! As a Vietnam combat vet I appreciate the detail and effort you have made to give a resource to use to educate my kids and grandkids when asked questions about my time in service. This is better than the Smithsonian !!. I spent about 5 months in Colorado Springs, Ft Carson Army Hospital in 1969, from Nam and have not been back in that area since. Your museum has given me a reason to return. Thanks for your effort and sacrifice for preserving the honor of generations of us who have "skin and blood" in the game of "freedom". We need to make your museum a must see in the education of our children before they become "woke" by the education system we now have in this great country. I salute you for your tremendous achievement. God Bless you Sir and God Bless America"!!

Wow! This is a phenomenal war and military display. Even the federal government couldn't create a comparable display. Dragonman, who's going to take over as the museum curator after you pass on? This display cannot and should not deteriorate into oblivion after you are not around to keep it up. All military students, active-duty personnel, and veterans should make a visit to your museum. Please consider including rooms for the American Civil War and the American Revolutionary War. I think that would complete the museum. You said that an update will be made to it in the near future to add even more displays. I hope you add displays of those two American wars that I mentioned. Bravo for a superior museum! I bet it cost you multi-millions of dollars to acquire all of the equipment/material to put all of the displays together. Keep up the great work, patriot! I hope somebody is documenting all of the displays in a multi-color book with lots of photographs and historical explanations. You are a great American, Dragonman!
