They defend the Constitution

We're talking about America's military men and women. In honor of Veteran's Day, here's a pic of "Shoo Shoo Baby" a B-17 bomber at the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton, OH. If you like planes or military history, this is the place for you: it's free, you can easily spend two days there, there's lots of stuff for kids to see (some stuff you can touch) and there's a lot of impressive military air power - including an F-4 Phantom, a 'Fork-tailed Devil,' a B-2 stealth bomber, a Raptor and a nasty AC-130 gunship named "Azrael, Angel of Death." They also have five former Air Force One's and an R & D hangar - budget time for that stuff.

Closer to home, there's other places that honor military members: Cantigny in Wheaton features a museum dedicated to the Army's "Big Red One" - the First Infantry Division. On Chicago's Lake Michigan shore, if you wanna get away from the bustle of Oak Street Beach and Navy Pier, you can walk through Olive Park (may be under construction), dedicated to young American serviceman Milton L. Olive, III who saved his comrades lives and lost his in Vietnam. There's also the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museumin Chicago. And if you're ever going through Indy, there's several large war memorials.
