Congratulations to Tommie Lynn Sullivan and the staff at the Greensboro Children's Museum for hosting the "fun day" for the children from Fort Bragg (News & Record, March 20). What a wonderful way for the city of Greensboro to show support for our military troops and their families.
The vast majority of soldiers from Fort Bragg are now deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan and the families at home suffer as much in their own way as do the troops in the field.
Sponsoring an outing for the children of military families is a wonderful act of civic support for our volunteers in uniform serving our country overseas and at home.
Hopefully, Greensboro will continue to serve as an R&R site for families of our military, possibly at the Natural Science Center, Emerald Pointe or other Greensboro/Guilford County venues.

My only complaint about the children's museum is the cost structure. Charging admission for kids is one thing. But charging the same thing for the kids and their parents is another. Parents have no choice but to accompany their kids at the museum.
So for a family of 4, you pay $6 a piece for the two kids, and $6 a piece for the 2 parents.
$24 for an hour or two is out of a lot of folk's price range.
Remember, it is a children's museum. Parents are their to chaperone, not play.
Kinda ironic is that kids usually get deep discounts when they attend more adult fare.
