This week we travel to the birthplace of America, Massachusetts! We visit the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA which includes some of the world’s best warbirds—including a P-40 that was at Pearl Harbor. The collection also features two actual cells from the Hanoi Hilton—a powerful reminder of the bravery, sacrifice, and dedication to duty displayed by American POWs. The Bay State is also the birthplace of space pioneer Robert Goddard, who launched the first successful rocket using liquid propellent, and is home to MIT’s Lincoln Labs, which has been instrumental in advancing space capabilities.
