G.I. Joshua

A new military display just opened in our area. We went to the ribbon cutting ceremony with Chris and Josh. We LOVE the display. I used to volunteer at the National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning, GA, and would like to volunteer here, too (I need to call them back...). The were designed very well, just draw you into the "action". The kiosks are interactive with recorded audio and visual media, stories straight from those who lived through them.

While Hubby and I could hear the programming through the sound speaker above us, both boys (Chris hearing, Josh w/CI) found this difficult. It was very loud in the building, and the speaker sound came from way above the two little guys. Chris and Josh both liked using the hand held speakers when listening to the stories. Well, they listened as much as any 2 or 4 year old would. Josh did get the knack of it, though. In this picture he's trying to figure out why he can't hear the sound any more. He's trying to "make it work" with the helmet on. :)
