The National D-Day Museum

Posted By Blackfive

I snuck out of a meeting to go spend a few hours at the National D-Day Museum. After spending some time (for the Sixtieth Anniversary) reading about D-Day, I was looking forward to seeing what the NDDM had to offer.

The museum does an outstanding job of presenting the view from a strategic, tactical and individual level - and it sets up what the mood and feelings of the times were like. I found the videos of isolationists and the anti-war crowd amazingly similar to their counterparts today.

The museum doesn't just focus on Normandy and attempts (admirably) to cover the hundreds of D-Days that occurred all over the pacific.

All in all, it was three hours well spent and definitely worth the $15. If you are ever in New Orleans, you should plan on touring the museum.
