"Follow Me" memorial honoring the foot soldiers who "win the last 100yds. of any battle".
These next photos aren't the greatest since the museum required me turning my flash off and I really only know how to take automatic pictures;) However you can see a little bit of how the museum is set up. You walk through a very life-like setting of the 8 most famous battles in US history. Ellie was scared by all the artillery and shelling noises, but honestly it WAS scary. It was overwhelming to feel a tiny bit of what it would be like to truly be in battle. I can't even imagine.
Distinquished beyond their years and experience, Grace and Ellie were promoted to Drill Sergeant and were permitted to drill a new recruit (He was in actuality a Lieutenant headed for duty in Germany who was good enough to be bossed around by our little General). Grace didn't make that great of a drill Sergeant, being "soft" and too kind-hearted. Ellie on the other hand...well let's just say she may of found her calling. Yelling out commands and critizing the new recruit's performance was right up her alley. She made him do 80 push-ups after the first 20 were "too slow"!
Ellie revelling in her temporary power.
A great day for everyone that will not soon be forgotten.
