Retired Gen. Colin Powell is the guest speaker at the grand opening of the National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning.
The four-star general and former secretary of state will join other dignitaries Friday at the $107 million, 190,000-square-foot museum honoring the 234-year history of the U.S. Army Infantry.
The building contains a 13,000-square-foot hall with six galleries covering battles from the Revolutionary War to Iraq. Outside, Gen. George Patton's original office and sleeping quarters are found on World War II Street, which also displays 1940s barracks, mess hall and other buildings moved from their original locations on Fort Benning.
As part of the ceremonies, more than 200 infantry trainees will graduate on the museum's Soldier's Field.
