It was so kind of Oriskany Museum to welcome such a great man like David J. Cooney. I am sure that he has a lot of knowledge to instill to people, that's why this presentation that was open to public should be visited. It's a chance for us to be familiar about the stuff in World War II. Though it paints painful memories and many lives were taken during that war, don't you think knowing some information about it is exciting? If I live there, I will make an effort to be there for sure! Leave a Reply. |
