102-Year-Old WW II Veteran Visits the Creation Museum

Corporal Don Aycock is a World War II vet with the 18th Field Artillery, which was established in the Revolutionary War. He landed on Normandy 19 days after the war began, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and helped liberate a concentration camp. So it was extra special that on the day of his visit to the museum, one of our staff members, Vickie Gaynier, was portraying Dutch woman Corrie ten Boom, who famously was held along with her sister in a concentration camp. Vickie dresses as Corrie and performs a touching one-woman play. Don enjoyed the program and said Vickie “reminded him of his mother.”

Thank you for your service, Don. He told me he loved the Ark and Creation Museum and was so thankful for what we are doing at these attractions. Thanks to his family for arranging for this unique visitor to be able to come and visit us.

And if you’d like to enjoy Vickie’s Corrie ten Boom program, watch our Daily Calendar for when the program will be running next or find a recording of the performance on Answers TV.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
