| Jacob's Review:
They have tanks and helicopters there, and you can sit on them for really cool pictures! Allot of the tanks and jeeps aren't used anymore, they're just there so people can look at them. There is a really big rocket you can look at - and it's real! Soldiers do a good job helping people, they have to be good at shooting guns and stuff so that other people in the world won't be bad and hurt people! Sometimes soldiers go away for a long time and miss their families, and I'm proud of our soldiers!!

Dad's Notes:
There are 2 Museums on post, both are definitely worth seeing. The 4th ID museum has Vietnam and WWII displays including an animatronic General Patton 'robot' that moves and talks, he gives a lot of sound advice! Jacob and I sat and listened for half an hour and he never said the same thing twice!
Jacob really gets a kick out of going to the Fort Hood Museums, especially due to all of the the outside displays of tanks, helicopters and assorted military equipment- ton's to look at and sit on! Be sure to bring a camera!!
Acres of Military vehicles, past & present. It is awe inspiring to walk among the military "Garden". It amazes me that with all the 'Power Hungry' leaders in the world that a government based on freedom & human rights is the strongest and most powerful.

| Jacob Tip:
Near the airfield you can see helicopters flying, especially during the week. If you listen sometimes you can hear tanks shooting too!
Dad says In the 4th ID museum there is an exhibit that has 'kid sized' Army uniforms of different types - the kids can dress up!
