Review for Portrait Of A Warrior Gallery Kern County, Bakersfield, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This Gallery/Museum is an extremely moving experience. Always Remember/Never Forget is not just a thought but a mission statement. It is such an awe inspiring experience when you take a tour presented by one of the knowledgeable docents. Tears are common place.

A great collection of memorabilia from Vietnam and the 'mock' team room is so realistic.
.
Once the MIA room is completed with 1000s of missing service members dog tags, it will be a spectacular presentation. Again, so moving. Back in the day, I had a stainless steel POW/MIA bracelet I wore. {Wish I new what happened to that..}

The families of the fallen warriors can often be seen sitting on the bench in front of their family member's portrait. It can be healing for some.

I truly wish more people took the time to visit the Gallery,, they will be so glad they did.
