So, When I heard what the challenge was I was freaking out. Couldnt think of a place to I would like to visit...not a museum anyway. Then I thought... you know after being a military wife for so long I was like you know I wonder if the museum is done yet for the US Army so I did a little research and found out it is not yet finished. Got a ways to go too...several years until it is complete. But Id decided I would go for it. I would scrap about The National Museum of the US Army...not much out there in the way of photos but they did have a "logo" and some artists renderings. So I snagged a few of those. I am in the process of figuring out how to credit those. So far my answer is 'no credit.' I also along the way answered a military, should I say Army, trivia question right and won a book... A War to Be Won : Fighting the Second World War. By Williamson Murray and Allan R. Millett, Harvard Press, 2000. I am sure my husband will enjoy it. Here is the link... http://www.armyhistory.org/index.aspx Scroll to the bottom and these is a lil thing with the question and the answer and my name in lights... LOL Anyway... I took some quotes that I love and scream ARMY to me and a couple of the artists renderings and the logo and some barbed wire and VIOLA! My first ADSR challenge is finished!
