This is just dynomite! Wow. I love all the pics. The rifles and knives are all amazing. I like the Thompson.

I thought about you several times my friend, the weapon displays were amazing. Mrs AC said “do you have all those yet?” “No, not yet....”

Outstanding place to visit. I saw the D-Day Museum when it first opened in New Orleans. I don't know if this is the same Museum, but it was awesome.

National World War II Museum[edit]
Ambrose's work for the Eisenhower Center, specifically his work with D-Day veterans, inspired him to found the National D-Day Museum in New Orleans. Ambrose initiated fundraising by donating $500,000.[42] "He dreamt of a museum that reflected his deep regard for our nation's citizen soldiers, the workers on the Home Front and the sacrifices and hardships they endured to achieve victory."[43] He secured large contributions from the federal government, state of Louisiana, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and many smaller donations from former students, who answered a plea made by Ambrose in the New Orleans Times-Picayune.[44] In 2003, Congress designated the museum as "America's National World War II Museum," acknowledging an expanded scope and mission for the museum. "The Stephen E. Ambrose Memorial Fund continues to support the development of the museum's Center for Study of the American Spirit, its educational programs and oral history and publication initiatives."[43]
