The United States is a country that has some of the best military museums in the world, with different themes and eras.<\/p>\n

US Army Aviation Museum: a place to see spectacular historic aircrafts<\/a><\/rel>
\nThe D-Day Collins Museum, a former headquarters that remains as it was in 1944<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

In the US there are museums of this type, both public and private. One of the most spectacular private military museums in the US was inaugurated in 2020 in Dubois, Wyoming<\/strong>. This is the National Museum of Military Vehicles<\/a>. It is a large museum with abundant contents: its surface area is almost 15,000 square meters and it exhibits almost 500 military vehicles, artillery pieces, boats and aircraft<\/strong> from different periods, from 1897 to the present.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The museum was the initiative of Dan and Cynthia Starks and expresses its purpose as follows<\/a>: \"To honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans and their families<\/strong>; To educate next generations on the history of American freedom; To preserve and share historic military vehicles.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The museum has three large galleries:<\/strong> the first, dedicated to General George C. Marshall, contains vehicles from World War II; the second, dedicated to General Lewis \"Chesty\" Puller, deals with the Korean and Vietnam wars; The third, dedicated to General George S. Patton, shows mechanized vehicles, with special emphasis on the First World War.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition, there is a section that displays more than 200 firearms<\/strong>, and outside you can see an M-48 battle tank next to the so-called Reflection Wall<\/strong>, \"where several quotations remind visitors why we honor and thank our Veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice on behalf of the United States of America.\"<\/em> Next to this wall the Old Glory and the flags of each of the branches of the US Armed Forces.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It must be said that the museum has a spectacular, impeccable and very careful presentation<\/strong>, something that is admirable in a public institution financed with state funds but is even more admirable in a private institution. Of all the museums I have found online, it is one of the best presented.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Visitors have so far recognized the quality of this museum, as Tripadvisor has awarded it the Travelers' Choice 2022 and 2023 award<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can find more information about this excellent museum on its website<\/strong>: https:\/\/nmmv. org<\/a>. I cannot do less than congratulate the promoters of this museum<\/strong>, both for its presentation and for the values that motivate them.<\/p>\n
