I am taking a detour south in (as I was headed north and was about halfway up Mississippi) for this week’s Mississippi Mondays post. In honor of Veterans Day, I chose Mississippi Armed Forces Museum, Camp Shelby which I saw on Wikipedia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_museums_in_Mississippi. I looked for other military museums in my search that were more northerly, but didn’t see any on Wikipedia‘s link above.
