45th Infantry Division Museum Slideshow. WARNING: Some graphic content
The 45th Infantry Division Museum in OKC is a place you must see if you get the chance. It's full of history and memorabilia that you can't find anywhere else such as the largest collection of Hitler's personal belongings.
This slideshow only shows a small glimpse of history and emotions that the museum holds. A note of warning though, as there are many different displays that show Nazi memorabilia and even scenes from Nazi concentration camps, viewer discretion is advised. There are some scenes that may be hard to stomach so please keep that in mind. I didn't take many photos in the room that showed the inconceivable evil of the concentration camps as it was a little too much even for me but there are still some photos of it in this slideshow.
This museum is about educating people, not offending anyone, so if you are offended then please read a history book.
For more information about the museum, please visit

The 45th Infantry Division Museum hosts Memorial Day ceremony.
The reverberating shot of a WWII-era anti-tank cannon marked the beginning of Oklahoma National Guard's 45th Infantry Division Museum Memorial Day ceremony today. The museum has held military remembrance ceremonies since its establishment in Sept. 1976 by the Oklahoma legislature.
Every year I come, said Bill Tekamp, a 45th Infantry Korean War veteran who has attended the ceremony for 10 years. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
As Oklahomans remember those lost in the recent May 20 tornado, they also came together to remember and honor the fallen men and women who have served their country.
However, Memorial Day is not only a day for remembering the fallen, but also a day for honoring the families and friends who make up the support system for those service members. As Oklahoma rises to support each other in disaster, so do Oklahomans support and honor each other in service to their country.
For me I will never forget the names of the 19 soldiers that we've lost since the global war on terrorism, said Brig. Gen. Robbie Asher, Director Joint Staff of Joint Force Headquarters and keynote speaker for the event. Those 19 soldiers and their families will always have a special place in my heart, and today, as I remember Memorial Day, that's who I remember -- those families.
The ceremony also offers a window into our nation's history. Surrounded by military vehicles and aircraft as well as veterans wearing historical period uniforms, the public sat in chairs on the lawn reliving years past.
It's all about honoring them, said Larry Lewis, a Vietnam War era veteran from the 4th Army 1st Brigade, now a part of the museum's Company G, 180th Infantry a reenactment team who helped to fire the cannon to initiate the ceremony. You can't progress in the future without remembering the past. Don't live in the past, but take those lessons that are offered by the past.
In remembering the past, Oklahomans can progress into a more hopeful, optimistic future that honors those who scouted the paths before them.
I feel blessed to call myself an Oklahoman, because I truly believe, more than any other state, our citizens understand what today is all about, said Asher. But my friends, I suggest to you that Memorial Day is not served well if it is a day of sadness alone. Today, we are all charged, especially those of us that have worn the uniform, to ensure that today celebrates the lives of our friends who gave their complete physical being for our Nation.

Hollywood makes feature film about Oklahoma Citizen Soldiers
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Army National Guard’s historical Thunderbird patch is widely recognized because of the thousands of brave men of the 45th Infantry Division who wore it during World War II and the Korean War.
Many decades later, courageous men and women assigned to the 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, headquartered in Norman, Oklahoma, continue to carry on the proud legacy of wearing the Thunderbird insignia.
Starting Friday, that tremendous heritage will be solidified again on the silver screen for the entire country to see. Strong Eagle Media, a Los Angeles-based production company, made a 90-minute wartime documentary about a small group of Oklahoma National Guard Soldiers and Airmen who served in Afghanistan from 2011-2012.
