Patton Museum



On Friday we went to check out the Patton Museum on Fort Knox. I have never seen so many tanks - American tanks, German tanks, Korean tanks, Iraqi tanks, amphibious tanks, and more that I can't remember right now. Thanks to Charlie, our personal tour guide, we learned a lot about tanks. It was really cool to be able to see - and show the kids - the tank that Charlie was on while he was deployed to Iraq in 2004-2005.

Aidan and Rachel trying out a tank simulator.



We had to get a picture with the Kentucky tank.



A piece of the Berlin wall.



There was a section for OIF - it is really amazing to see those exhibits and know that Charlie was a part of it.



Outside they have several tanks on display. We were trying to figure out which ones my Papa would've been on when he served - there were several there from the 1940's.
