Our Field Trip to the Arizona Military Museum






In our history studies, we are just wrapping up learning about World War I and will soon be starting World War II. So, it was only fitting that we take a field trip to the Arizona Military Museum on October 28. At the museum, we learned about Arizona's rich military history--from the Spanish Territorial days until the present conflicts in the Middle East. We had a personal tour from the museum President, Col. Joe Abodeely. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the entire scope of Arizona's military history. It was clear that he loves the museum, and so did we! When asked what their favorite parts were, the kids unanimously declared that they loved seeing the guns used in each war and of course the full sized combat helicopter which was housed in the East room. This field trip was especially special for us because Grandma Bettie and Dad were able to join us!
