I'm ticked I missed this when we were in SD for a few days on our vacation this past summer!!

Do you have any pictures of the other blood chits???

What's amazing about this museum is that in 1978 it burned to the ground.

 

I volunteered to help go through the rubble to find anything salvageable.

 

If I remember correctly someone found what was left of The Red Baron's Blue Max.

 

In the days months and years following the fire thousands of veterans donated their things.

 

Now you have this wonderful display.

 

Thanks Steve for taking the time to put this together.
