Veterans Memorial Museum in Branson, MO – ‘Worth the Drive’
Feeling a little patriotic this weekend as I always do on Independence Day and it reminded me that I never finished this post. So here we go with one of the best Military Museums I have ever seen, it's in Branson, Missouri and it is... 'Worth The Drive".
It's called the Veterans Memorial Museum and it is very impressive. The museum honors all veterans just like it says on the sign out front with special emphasis on World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf Wars.
