ehrentitle Posted June 27, 2010 Share #30 Posted June 27, 2010 Recreation of the Sullivan's house in Waterloo, Iowa. Front of the house with what I believe is the original Son in Service banner with 5 gold stars: Interior of the house with display case. Only original items appear to be letters sent to the brothers and returned to the family upon their death: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehrentitle Posted June 27, 2010 Share #32 Posted June 27, 2010 Last but not lease for you patch collectors, a patch covered USO flag from the Vietnam exhibit: I just noticed that several of the patches appear to have been taken off of the flag. Makes one ask why, rare, valuable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehrentitle Posted June 27, 2010 Share #34 Posted June 27, 2010 It turns out that Lady Gwen II is a replica, but there is a very interesting back story on the real aircraft: http://wcfcourier.com/news/local/article_e...9b5b099f8f.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navrocky Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share #37 Posted June 28, 2010 Beyond words to describe the marvelous, superlative views captured here, enhancing those of us, who are unable to the museum. They are inspiring and wonderfully displayed. And I join the others who praise the effort. Thank you from one who will never forget the story of the Sullivan's. Long may they live. Well done sir.
