Still working on displays etc...
We're still working on displays for the museum and also doing research for soldiers profiles which we hope to get lots of information for each and individual soldiers on the Anderson Institute Memorial. We are working currently on a video that will be displayed in the museum with the rest of the display which will explain and show our trip to everyone.
