I don't know how familiar you are with Fort Hood, but.....
There are two outdoor museums that you should take the time to see.
Take a camera with you, they are worth photographing.
Right next to one of the museums is the 3rd Infantry Division Memorial.
It has a bronze sculpture that is heart rending. I believe it was made by an
Iraqi.
Take a look, it's worth it....

Compliance guy wandered into my back yard. Seemed a nosy neighbor had
complained that I had a cannon pointed toward their house. My first candid
response was "Which One" (I had about ten assorted pieces or various sizes
and at one point you have to place things like that under tarps in any
manner to get them into a small yard as best as possible)
> He walked behind the shed saw two, went with me around the corner saw
another, the front yard had two on either side of the driveway pointed out,
etc. Well long and short of it seems people save these theings up as "New
Years" resolutions to get something off their list of "to do" stuff and he
has to check things out.
> I really wondered why a Codes Compliance guy would come out for a "Cannon
pointed toward my house!" instead of the State or Local Police....ATF,
etc.....
