There was so much to see and take in at this little museum.
.
.
The husband with two of his old work colleagues taking about some kind of gun. 62 years of Army, Navy and Marine Corps service represented right there.
.
.
The Nazi flag came from a soldier who liberated Auschwitz.
.
.
.
This flag flew during the Normandy invasion.
.
.
A wall of WWII Life magazines. It will not surprise you to learn my husband has them all.

There’s a story for this fellow with the strategically placed leaf…
Of all the uniforms that have been donated and are on display at the museum, a WWII era French officer’s is not among them. All they have so far is a hat, so this poor guy is doing what any self respecting Frenchman would do while he waits…. drink wine on a nude beach.

You have to wonder why S/Sgt. Towers kept these particular souvenirs from his war years. Good memories… or bad?
🤣

River's world..... 
Vite! Vite!
Someone get that Frenchman a uniform! 😀

That is a museum that has it ALL. The nude French dude looks like he is ready to turn over a new leaf.

Re: the last photo, he kept them cuz he never got to use them. Maybe he was being true to his wife back home. (Or at least wanted to make her think he was. Some pieces are missing.)

I think my grandfather would have loved to walk through there. He served in WWII and was very proud of that fact.

It’s a small place but the respect and honor to those who served is palpable.

Do you have to be French to sip wine on a nude beach? Asking for a friend…

You do not. But we visited a nude beach by accident when we were in France and trust me… it’s not always pretty.
