War Dog Militaria - COLLEGE STATION, Texas () – Hundreds of people came out Veterans Day weekend for the History in Motion experience at the Museum of the American G.I.
Attendees enjoyed the sights and sounds of American military history as they got up close to the museum's arsenal of vehicles and weapons once used to defend America's freedoms.

While many attended this weekend's event for different reasons, all were impressed after seeing the finest collections of vehicles and weapons restored to pristine condition in the South.
"We like to showcase the vehicles so that people have a better connection with the men or women who in modern times actually used these vehicles," said Leisha Mullins, director of the Museum of the American G.I. actually see outside, when they see how loud they are, they have a better idea of what it was like back when they would have been used in WWII or Vietnam.
For an organization like that, it's just great to come out here and put on this event and give us a little insight into what these guys have been through,” said attendee Don Williams.
The weekend's event was a little darker than usual for staff and volunteers after six people died after two historic military planes crashed during an air show in Dallas. Attendees of the event say their thoughts and prayers are with the brave pilots involved and they must never be forgotten.

"It's a terrible loss, we lost these individuals who kept trying to teach us and remind us of what they went through and what they go through today in the Air Force," said Williams.
"Over the years we've been fortunate to be able to work with them in various capacities, just like for us, they're all volunteers, they give their time, their passion for history to the public," Mullins said.
Programs such as History in Motion and Living History Weekends are made possible by funding from the Museum of The American G.I. in part through hotel tax revenue funded by the City of College Station and the City of Bryan through the ArtsCouncil.
History will come alive in January for the museum's Winterblitz 2023, described as a fun, laid-back spectacle for armor and miniatures enthusiasts among REAL historical artifacts!
