Who: World War II Museum - National Museum of the Pacific War

Fredericksburg, Texas is the first official stop of our world tour! Here we are visiting the National Museum of the Pacific War. The Uncle Sam balloon was donated to the war materials, and it is kept in the museum.

The first exhibit, dedicated to Pearl Harbor, contains a video. This video explains the events that took place during Pearl Harbor. The video uses pictures, videos, and voice recordings to tell the story. The museum obtains a Japanese midget sub, AJ-19.

The second exhibit had a room for the Japanese-Americans. The United States viewed the Japanese as a national threat. They were kept in concentration camps, and the only way the Japanese could leave was to join the American Army.

The third exhibit, dedicated to Jimmy Dolittle, had a huge plane in a room. Dolittle raiders lived in Comfort, Texas. Dolittle’s worst day was when he had to leave his plane to fight for his country. His best day was when his parachute worked and he was able to fly to safety.

This museum has many important artifacts and we were able to learn about each and every one of them. We also got to learn about many important people that served in the war, such as the Sullivan brothers. This museum contains so many facts that help shape our country into what it is today.
