Visit Texas naval museums, maritime museums, military museums, aviation museums, and
similar displays
across the state. Additional web links reveal to you even more Texas
military history where no museum or display exists. Perhaps the best
museum of the category is the
Texas
Military Forces Museum
at the Texas National Guard headquarters at Camp Mabry in the middle of
Austin, replete with tanks, planes, and cannons, and a collection of every
Jeep ever built.
The Camp Mabry museum is
open to the public, accessible with a valid photo ID.
The
numerous other outstanding museums await your visits throughout the state.

Notes:
All museums and other sources are in or about Texas history.
USS is sometimes abbreviated
U.S.S.
World War II is also often indicated as
WWII, WW2,
and World War 2.
The background of the Home Page is the tiled state
flag of Texas.
The background of stars on other pages is the tiled
image of two of the sculpted gold stars in the
National
World War II Memorial on the Mall in Washington, D.C.
Each star represents the deaths of 100 service personnel during WWII
worldwide. It is of interest here to note that, for example, when a torpedoed Liberty
ship went down with all hands, the civilian crew deaths are not counted
here among the stars, but the ~20 US Navy personnel of the Naval Armed Guard onboard to
operate the 5" cannon and other ordnance are counted in the total of the
stars in the Memorial.
