Where: Fredericksburg, Texas, USA
Who: World War II Museum
We talked to a WWII Museum in Fredericksburg, Texas. We were introduced to Mr. Degner. He told us stories about Edward Nimitz, who became a naval officer through hard work and dedication, after deciding he didn't want to go into work at a hotel like his relatives. He later gave us a tour of the museum, which included insights about how America went into the war at a disadvantage, our worries about Hitler, and how severely unprepared we were when Japan made a surprise attack (what is known as Pearl Harbor). He took us around the museum and showed us many exhibits. We saw planes, artifacts, and other memories from the war. Mr. Degner told us lots of intriguing stories from WWII and Texas. Many artifacts from WWII were shown to us including weapons, bombshells, badges given to soldiers during that time, and airplanes that were actually used in the war! Near the end of the tour, Mr. Degner showed us one of the medals given to soldiers that showed dedication and hard work called "The Medal of Honor."
