    Legion of Valor Museum in Fresno

    Has anyone been to this museum? I stumbled upon their website, and the photo tour shows some very cool displays:

    What kind of government do you guys got here? This is worse than California.

    I've been there many times back in high school (about 10 years ago lol) for NJROTC field trips. Also there for a DEP enlistment activity. And again a couple years back on my own. It's really cool, but the museum itself is small for a museum. LOTS AND LOTS of rifles there. My jaw dropped when I saw that there where honest-to-God Nisei soldiers giving tours there.

      This museum is the only reason I've ever been to Fresno. My dad and a buddy of his took all of us kids up to Yosemite, and decided that this was a good place to make a short stop along the way. I was just a little kid when I went, and I did not understand until a few years later that the museum itself was dedicated to heroes throughout American military history. I spent an hour going between the rifle and pistol collection cases. I'm pretty sure that was the day that Legos finally took a back seat to guns.
