Today we worked on a great project at the Ohio Veterans Home. One of two veterans homes in the state, OVH houses almost 600 veterans on a property that spans 99 acres. They have a pond, a basketball court, a putt putt course, and even a museum on their campus. Today we got to work in the museum.
We spent the day sweeping, mopping, organizing, disposing, glass cleaning, wood polishing and anything else that needed to be done inside the three story museum. There are tons of rooms with different memorabilia from each of the wars that have been fought with American soldiers. Whether it's uniforms, or weapons/ammunition, or typewriters, or long range radios, or letters and paperwork, this place has it all.
