Illinois Veteran's Home

This morning and this evening we went by the Veterans Home to see the memorials, tour the War Museum, and feed the animals.  Our intentions were to see the War Muesum at 9am this morning but upon arrival we discovered that it did not open until 1pm.  We decided to come back later in the evening to take a look around the grounds.
 






By the time we got there in the afternoon the All Wars Muesum was closed.

 My Grandpa's name is on the World War II Memorial.  Sylvester Kramer was his name.

 
John Sass was my Dad's Uncle

 At the Veteran's Home they have an animal park where you can feed deer, ducks, lamas, buffalo, and geese.  We took a package of old hot dog buns out and had a good time.  The deer would eat right out of our hands.
