D-Day 75 at WWII museum
As the 75th anniversary of D-Day approaches on June 6, America's surviving WWII veterans is dwindling. With nearly 400 veterans passing away daily, fewer than 500,000 of more than 16M men and women who served are alive today. In this post-war era, France will honor those who fought on the beaches of Normandy over the D-Day landings. In New Orleans, through Oct. 20, the National WWII Museum will commemorate the actions of D-Day, the seminal point in the European theater that ultimately saved the world from Nazi tyranny. That's all the more reason in time for the 75th anniversary of D-Day and well beyond to discover the countless rich biographies and true tales of valor that make up the National WWII Museum.
