  • I am giving you guys a fast walk through to show what you will see if you take one of my museum tours. We also take you through my oldies but goodies room which we did not show in this video, we will show you later this week. The museum will only be open until Veterans day, November 11th and then it will be closed for the whole winter. All my other businesses are open year round, depending on weather. My plan this winter is to extend the museum again, next year it will be even bigger and better.

    Unbelievable museum!!! As a Vietnam combat vet I appreciate the detail and effort you have made to give a resource to use to educate my kids and grandkids when asked questions about my time in service. This is better than the Smithsonian !!. I spent about 5 months in Colorado Springs, Ft Carson Army Hospital in 1969, from Nam and have not been back in that area since. Your museum has given me a reason to return. Thanks for your effort and sacrifice for preserving the honor of generations of us who have "skin and blood" in the game of "freedom". We need to make your museum a must see in the education of our children before they become "woke" by the education system we now have in this great country. I salute you for your tremendous achievement. God Bless you Sir and God Bless America"!!

General Donald W. Guilfoyle, would have loved to have seen this. This needs to be preserved forever in testimony to the bravest and greatest of our country. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Real history. A treasure for the real history books-to-be. Your link and video out to be in every new history textbook. God bless you. You are real, Patriot.

    I was in Colorado two years ago and had no idea of this museum. I will certainly visit it on my next trip out that way!
