I had lunch years back talking to the conservative “film consultants” for The Pacific and Band of Brothers. No names needed..

They all point to Tom Hanks for making the WW2 National Museum a reality.

They would talk about the politics involved on why the WW2 museum couldnt be built (red tape) , but Hanks stepped up and got the funding started for the museum.

I know Hanks is a major lefty, but the people involved in the scenes for both HBO series, swear by what he did and they aint Democrats. It was established 2000. but it wasn’t being built until Hanks got involved due to Band of Brothers.

Thanks for sharing that. Good to know that Hanks has done some god things. He has always seemed to me to be a down to earth guy and not another way out there loon like Aron Reiner or Deniro.

Regarding the WWII museum: Be ft ore I retired I’d go to New Orleans every other year for a trade show. I was able to go to the museum twice. It is a must see when in New Orleans.
