I actually laughed out loud at that one. I agree. History is so important and it's great when children can get excited about it. Angel RobinetteDesign.com

Just kidding. I am a fan/student of history and I am always happy to learn that something gets put to where current and future generations can see it close-up and imagine what life must have been like for those young boys training on it. DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
