For the Corregidor board, I wish to post this photo I took at the Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksberg, Texas. During the 2009 Convention of the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor in San Antonio, Texas, we took a short trip to this wonderful museum which was in the midst of a large expansion. It is a must see if you are ever in the area. This plaque honoring Colonel Galbraith was within the wall of honor on the museum grounds. Attachments:

I concur Bob, the museum in Fredericksburg is a must see, as is the old German town itself.
Years ago they would demonstrate and shoot the various guns involved in the Pacific war, American and Japanese.
About 2 blocks away from the main Museum in a protected area outside, by a building holding a Zero etc..
They first told those sitting in the bleachers about the various weapons, actual weapon in hand, then they would shoot them, including a flame thrower and a 50 caliber machine gun.
I think it was a once a month thing, 10 years ago maybe?
