Postcard from the USA!

Today I got a cool postcard from the USA! The postcard features multiple views of Fort Leonard Wood, which is located in the Missouri Ozarks. The fort was created in 1940 to train infantry troops but has since expanded to be the site of many US Army schools, including the Army Military Police school, Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear school, and the Army Engineer school. A nice Medal of Honor stamp was used!  Thanks Kristen!

Today I got a nice postcard from the USA! The postcard shows an item from the Ripley's Odditorium in Branson, Missouri. This particular Ripley's museum has been hailed as one of the most photographed buildings in the world. The museum features a unique "cracked" design in order to commemorate a great earthquake that happened in Missouri. The item shown here is a replica of the USS Forrestal. It is unique because it was made with 48,000 household matches. The museum features other interesting items like a two-headed calf, a genuine vampire killing kit, shrunken heads, and other odd items. Thanks Gina!

Today I got a cool postcard from the USA! It shows the Busch Stadium, which is the stadium of the St. Louis Cardinals, a Major League Baseball team. The photo on the card was taken during the 1987 World Series. Thanks Mary Ann!

Today I got a great postcard from the USA! It shows the map and flag of the state of Missouri! The state is known as the "show me" state because people there are said to have the "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude. The card is an official Postcrossing card, US-2309300. Thanks Tom!
