A visit to the D-Day Museum
A few weeks back while in New Orleans I squeezed in a last minute visit to the World War II Museum (originally the D-Day Museum). Why is the museum in New Orleans? Because of these boats, which evolved from a boat Andrew Higgins created for trappers and oil companies to use in the swamps and marshes of Louisiana.
I believe this represented the number of soldiers (dead?) from each country.
The museum is currently under construction for a large expansion. It’s already a great tribute and I’m very happy my grandfather (RIP) got to be there for the opening 7 years ago today.
