    Medal of Honor Museum

    July 24 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 82 °F

    I visited the Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, with our Geezer Hiking Group. It was a fascinating and inspiring experience, and we were grateful for the opportunity to visit this exceptional museum.

    During our visit, our leader, Aubra, who is courageously battling pancreatic cancer, met a family whose members have devoted a combined 50 years to military service. Encounters like this are a powerful reminder that the freedoms we enjoy every day have been safeguarded by generations of Americans who answered the call to serve. We are truly fortunate to have men and women willing to sacrifice for our country in the cause of freedom and peace.

    The museum’s modern architecture is remarkable. The main structure is supported by five massive columns, symbolizing the five branches of the United States Armed Forces. It is a striking tribute before you even step inside.

    The exhibits are thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented. They left me with a profound appreciation for the more than 40 million Americans who have served in our Armed Forces and for the more than 5,000 recipients of the Medal of Honor. Their extraordinary courage, selfless service, and unwavering devotion to duty represent the very best of our nation and remind us that freedom has never been free.

    Rodeo Goat

    July 24 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 86 °F

    For lunch, we stopped at Rodeo Goat, a popular restaurant known for its creative burgers, local craft beers, and cocktails. I knew I wouldn’t be able to conquer one of their giant burgers, so I chose the Firebird, a breaded chicken sandwich topped with pickles and coleslaw. It turned out to be more than enough and was excellent. Judging by the size of the burgers on my colleagues' plates, I probably made the right decision.

    Forth Worth Club

    July 24 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 90 °F

    In the afternoon and evening, our youngest member, Chad (not quite a geezer yet, but we’re working on it), was an outstanding host. He gave us an exclusive tour of his workplace at the prestigious Fort Worth Club, where he works as a Performance and Longevity Coach. We enjoyed fascinating behind-the-scenes insights into the club’s state-of-the-art health and fitness facilities, although I suspect most of us were there more for the longevity than the performance.

    To top it all off, Chad arranged a private visit to the Davey O’Brien Room, an unforgettable experience for any college football fan.

    The day concluded at Chad’s home with one of our traditional “planning meetings,” where we relaxed with drinks, light snacks, and good conversation. As usual, the planning took about fifteen minutes, and the visiting lasted into the early evening.
