The tour of the greater southeast continues. Today we drove half way to Orlando and made a stop in Mobile at the USS Alabama. We arrived two days after a tornado ripped through the mid-town area and in the middle of a fluke cold spell. Once again we weren't prepared for the cold.
We climbed to the top of the ship, toured the living quarters, and pretended to shoot up the enemy.
On our way out of the park, I noticed a decorated WW2 vet sitting in the gift shop with a glazed look on his face as he sat in the corner ready to answer any questions guests might have. Not one person stopped to thank him for his service or ask a question. His story was not heard. It's truly a shame that so few people want to hear the stories of our veterans.
Next stop is the happiest place on Earth!
