My wife and I were running around the City with our daughter and just, happened to stop by Liberty Memorial. I snapped this image, which ended up, coming out much better than I'd anticipated.

This graphic was taken right fro, the website of Liberty Memorial Museum. If you have the opportunity, you really should go, it's simply awesome.

I took this image from an internet site.

I borrowed this image from the internet, wikipedia I believe. I searched and searched, but could find no really good, large sized pictures of the dedication, or early monument. If anyone out there has any, please forward them to me.

Another shot of the dedication.

I took this image from the internet, obviously.

Here is what the ticket looked like, when my nephew and I toured the museum this particular day.

Here is an image scanned of the pamphlet I was given on my tour, 08 August 2021.

I swear I did no editing to this photograph, although people ask. All I did was put a border around it and post. Is this a cool shot, or what?

I took this shot on the way out. Oh man, was it cold that day. This picture was taken the weekend the museum opened.

Another tower shot, this one with clear skies. Man, was I frozen.

This was a shot I took from our car, looking northeast.

I'm no weather dude, but I'm about half convinced that that temperatures have a lot to do with the color of the sky. When I took this next series of shots, it was hovering around 05 degrees (f) outside.

I always liked this shot. I was going for a sunset, but it was too cloudy, and too cold for me to wait around. Still, this is a nice effort.

I took this long shot to show how the drive look on your way in, and out. They've done a wonderful job here. When I was in highschool, this entire place was an area filled with little more than dope deals and muggings. Holy Moses it was cold that day. The wind was blowing and I was standing out there fumbling around with the tripod.

I took this shot on a Sunday monring when I knew nobody else would be there. The sky was perfect.

I never thought to zoom in on these sculptures; what a great couple of shots. I did not take this photograph. It is the work of, Steve Rich, whose work can be seen by following the link at the top of the page, in the introductory paragraph.

The lady of Sacrifice, as seen through the lens of, Steve Rich. His work can be seen by following the link shown in the introductory paragraph. I love these shots.

The tower is simply amazing. I got dizzy standing there looking up, trying to take this shot.

Obviously, the same shot really. I simply couldn't get enough of the tower. I've taken shots like this during the daytime, evening and late at night. I've done do in the summer and in the dead of winter when every sensible person was staying indoors.

I took this picture standing in the parking lot of Union Station. Not many people take the time to come around front and see what's there.

Walking down into the entrance of the museum.

Walking up the steps, you can see the city in the background.

Second View.

What cool scuptures these two are.

Most of the artifacts are displayed below. However, there are some artifacts in this museum here, on the ground level of the moneument. There is another hall on the other side which houses flags and other minutia.

Flags and other historical artifacts are held in this hall.

Again, the entrance. if you look closely you can see my wife and our daughter being strolled in on the right hand side.

Lest we forget the reason for the monument and the museum in the first place. The cloud cover seemed to highlight the shot.

Initially I wasn't going to include this shot, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. Not so much the display itself, but the glass, the reflections, and such. I just like it.

Various rifles from participating Nations.

The French one was hanging next to it. The French really don't need uniforms, tanks or guns. All they really need is their surrender kit.

The revolving photograpsh are backlit and displayed just before you walk through the main glass bridge into the museum. They change every few seconds.

We tried to donate a very good copy of my wife's great paternal grandfather, who was himself a Veteran of the Great War. However they weren't interested in copies; they wanted her original. We told them what they could do with that sentiment.

Not too much is heard about the Sea War, what with all the stories of Manfred von Richtofen, and Sergeant York, but a Great Sea War did indeed, rage.

These are so cool to see as you enter the museum.

Very cool, indeed.

Ich hasse der Frankreisch luete. Sehur grosse hasse.

"Iron Cross" An original medal. What I wouldn't give to have one. So very cool.

They have a few of these hanging around and they're awesome. This one was odd, as it was a rear propeller driven Brit bi-plane.

Purple? Leave it to the French.

How cool that this survived, but what a "ghastly" looking this. Put this on and you expect to hear Darth Vader telling Luke he's his father.

These enlarged photos are also littered throughout the museum. Very powerful stuff.

I had to create a limit, otherwise I'd have displayed all 200 photographs taken this day at the museum. There's just so much to see and do, so much information one can gather. It's very much worth your time and effort.

A torpedo on display. I shot six or seven pictures of this bad boy from all angles.

These are pretty cool. They're scattered all around the museum.

BOOM. You're dead. That's what that sound was.

As it looked, in 1918.

A model of this famous aircraft hangs over a display of "No Man's Land". It was extremely difficult to get this photograph, as I had to do it without the use of a tripod, or a flash. Because of the low level of light in the room itself, the camera had to remain very still while the shutter sucked in as much light as it was able.

What a cool display. The lights changed from white, to red to blue in 30 second intervals, or so.

Small gun really, but I'd still, very much not, like to get shot by it.

This was yet another hanging plane. I love these.

Several of the displays showcased this kind of every day stuff. Fascinating.

Go Henry Ford.

What a wonderful document, and piece of history. I wonder if anyone will want to see my discharge in a hundred years?

Another wheeled gun.

This guy found this German helmet on the battlefield and then mailed it home. Stamps on the helmet itself and then the address on a card attached to the helmet. Fascinating.

I posted this shot before I realized I'd already posted a previous one. I kept it because I couldn't decide which one was better, nor could I get over how much this exhibit has remained the same, despite the two year gap.

Forty five calibre "Automatic Colt Pistol". What an awesome ride. I own several.

This must have been what they hid in. You know good and well it was never used to offensive purposes.

I took this shot on a previous visit from the others.

What a drawing. I'd love to have a copy.

Original Uncle Sam Poster, 1917

When will we ever learn?

I really liked this one.

Very Nice.

Live in a mud hole and eat your dinner froma tin can? No thank you. Give me the Air Force please. Three hot meals and nice warm bed at the end of the day.

There's simply no end to it.

I loved these. I took tens of them, maybe more. I chose to only put six up here however. They have a hard time getting both search lights to work at the same time.

Another cold night. I'm not sure why I chose to take all these night shots in the winter time. I think it may have been that in the cold weather, I knew I was much less likely to get mugged.

The 5.1mp Cybershot always took good pictures.

Taken from Union Station.

I borrowed this from photographer, Steve Rich. I just thought this shot was fabulous.

Lying flat on the ground, I took this shot. The cement was just as cold as the air.

What a cool display. The lights changed from white, to red to blue in 30 second intervals, or so.

Just a silly image of my vehicle, from atop the Liberty Memorial Tower.
