It is a gorgeous center, well thought out and a lot of love was put into this. My only complaint was that I would have loved either plaques or a brochure explaining the exhibits a little better. I know my Army patches and medals but can barely tell a jumbo jet from a Piper Cub and don't know that much more about ships, so would have loved to know what planes were what and flew where/when and ditto the ships. There were a lot of memories there for me, so I can only imagine how those who truly served felt seeing all of this memorabilia.
