503rd Military Police
Company
3rd Army Military Police Platoon
|
|
|
|
This unit performs the
functions normally associated with the Military Police (MP) of the
United States Army during WWII.
We believe that learning about the past through actual living
experience imparts a greater knowledge and appreciation than any
lesson that is simply read from a book. The written pages of
history, as an indelible record for us to see, actually comes alive
through interactive demonstrations and educational programs
individually tailored for each specific age group. |
|
|
|
We are available for:
|
Reenactments: To
perform Military Police duties.
Parades: Honor your WWII Veterans. We will provide an honor
guard escort with our Military Police vehicles.
Lectures: To the public, schools, and other organizations.
All members use exacting copies, striving for authenticity, or
original clothing, uniforms, equipment, and weapons of World War II.

Museum of World
War II
Visit the
Museum of World War II, Natick, MA |
|
The Museum of
World War II is a 10,000 square foot, fully staffed, private
museum containing the most comprehensive display of original
World War II artifacts on display anywhere. The museum is
located just west of Boston, at the junction of two major
highways. |
 |
|
|
|
|
The presentation of
the exhibits is very different from other museums and is a major
reason that the museum is private and not open to the public,
although visits are scheduled virtually every day. Most of the
artifacts are not behind glass, and most can be touched. Fragile
items, important letters and documents, handguns, small spy weapons,
and the like, are in museum cases, but everything else is openly
exhibited. |
|
Visiting |
|
As the Museum is private, tours are given on an individual basis, by
appointment only. This is because we want those who have served in
the armed forces or who passionately care about this era to be our
guests. The people who come here are ones who will best appreciate
the interactive nature of the exhibits and artifacts. Therefore, we
do not allow 'walk-up' visitation or anyone who does not have an
appointment. However, we do welcome and encourage scheduled visits
from those seriously interested in this period. Please fax or email
us if you would like to visit and tell us about your appeal to World
War II. We can be reached by email at
mas@museumofworldwarii.com or by fax at (508) 651-7695. Our
regular hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00-5:00. Our summer
hours are Tuesday-Saturday 9:00-5:00. |
