This weekend we honor those who lost their live in service to our country. We honor veterans on Veterans Day. I guess the Air Museum is more interested in making money.

Thanks for the recognition...but this Holiday is meant to remember and reflect on those that have passed. Especially those from combat. Look at the gross disrespect spewed in the "Those who served...BEER" article...disgusting
