Museum of the Pacific War (Fredericksburg, TX) – March 2011

 Yeah, the same opening paragraph you’ve read before.  Some of these pictures were posted originally with the travel blog write-up (original link below).  Now instead of a select few, I’m sharing just about all the pictures.  Some blurry or bad shots were removed, as well as some with others who would appreciate not having their pictures posted again.  Please be sure to visit the original blog link for more details of the original visit.

 The last time we were in the area this was still being built, so it was nice to be able to go into see the exhibits.  There aren’t as many pictures here as there could’ve been, as I was spending a lot of time reading and absorbing the exhibits … which was what you should be doing when in a museum.  Starting with info on the events which lead up to the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, there’s various bits about the equipment and tactics used in the various campaigns as the Allies “island-hopped” towards Japan.  One of the things I liked was showing how things were on the homefront, like the bit about the American auto manufacturers retooling from building cars and trucks to cranking out tanks and planes.  When you’re in the area, put this on your “must see” list.
