This place is amazing and three stories! The thing that got my attention the most was the glider plan that delivered a jeep of troops to the battle field and the Airborne bicycle. A little for everyone. William Carey Lee (not related to the Civil War Lee) was born in Dunn, North Carolina. Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized Lee to form the first paratroop platoon. In August 1942, Lee was the commander of the newly formed 101st Airborne Division. They jumped into France on D-Day. Lee died in 1948 in his Dunn home. It is well worth seeing and I added some pictures.
