National Museum of Patriotism Blue Star Entrance
Upstanding US citizens, please note: the National Museum of Patriotism in Atlanta closes this week. But surely there are enough American flag-wavers around to keep this star-spangled monument to Uncle Sam open? Sadly not - the institution, whose jaunty slogan is "Come for a memory, leave with a mission", is the latest victim of the economic downturn. "Therefore, The National Museum of Patriotism had to answer the call of the new economy to find a new way of doing business. The National Foundation of Patriotism will become a virtual museum online," according to the museum website. A spokesman told local press that the museum will continue to host special events "relating to patriotism".
