John B Mahaffey Museum Complex — Attraction in Missouri

It was interesting to walk thru and see names familiar to me, what they did to contribute to our local and national betterment. Names like Schroeder, grandparent to a dear friend, Anne, who also did much for our current town when she served in our county seat. The only thing I found out of place is the monument in memorializing the dismantling of the Wall under Reagan's proclamation to Gorbachev. It seems so hypocritical that the GOP leader said, "if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, ...tear down this wall!" Once the GOP understood we are stronger together, embracing the global economic community, we are stronger when we enact legislation that is fiscally responsible. But now that they have been overrun by the swamp, lobbyists in charge of the agencies who they once either opposed or tapped for selling their products/services. The deficit has skyrocketed with no end in sight- new legislation proposing to remove the ceiling for the new two years while the liar in Chief taps the budget to build his vanity wall that all data proves is the most costly and least effective option - completely throwing away the last positive legacy they claim as positive.

On the outside by parking lot they have tanks and vehicles and display markers that give you some history on it. My family and I visited earlier in the day and we took probably 1 to 2 hours to walk through it all. You could go quicker or shorter but the...

The Engineer museum is located on Fort Leonard Wood. 495 South Dakota Avenue. Please be sure to make this a mandatory stop if you make it on post for any occasion i.e. graduation or concerts. The museum houses a collection of Engineer implements used throughout several campaigns. I've made visiting the museum a mandatory requirement for all the students that attend the 1st BDE (EN) schools. The retired CSM's that work there have a written quiz to challenge those soldiers that have had the honor become Engineers. Also, be sure to stop at the shop and purchase some wonderful Engineer themed souvenirs. All the proceeds collected assist the museum and Army Engineer Association continue to collect those rare and hard to find items that are displayed...
