This was what they tried to foist on NY City with the "International Moral EquivalencyFreedom Center."

I have always wanted to go and see the place my uncle died to free, but its occupied by morons and America hatting Muslims.

Hint to the French...time you made friends with the people who freed you. Before I die they will be begging us to free them again.

Good thing the French didn't create cornflakes because they could screw those up too.

But the museum’s brochure talks in pacifist tones of the need to “combat the violence around us . . . Peace begins at home, in the office, with our neighbours.”

"Combat" the violence? Isn't that sort of, well, violent?

A society that is unable to concentrate on singular issues, particularly one like this of historic good and evil, is doomed.

[Cicero]

This kind of nonsense has overtaken quite a few museums and other institutions, with the exception of those with a history and a well developed sense of their mission, but it's especially dispiriting at a museum meant to memorialize those who gave their lives at Normandy.

Fortunately, there is still a D-Day museum in France that tells the real story. It was built by veterans.

My uncle, a Canadian infantryman, was severally wounded just south of Caen in the battle of the Falaise Gap, August 1944. He died some twenty years ago, but lived, unfortunately, with the pain of his wounds for the rest of his life. Not sure he would buy into this PC propaganda ...

...and the need for “eco-responsibility”.

Every damn Zoo I take my kids to is full of that message.

About 25 years ago, I took my family to see the Normandy graveyards; my wife, my two small sons, and I all had tears streaming down our cheeks. Then we went to this museum, where we were hustled along by a French-only tour guide and prohibited from lagging behind to study the exhibits. They obviously didn't welcome Americans, and it left a very bad taste in our mouths.

Just whom do the French think liberated them from Nazi occupation of their "homes, "offices," and "neighborhoods" -- mannequins??

Not surprising to this Normandy veteran--this place has been riddled with corruption, graft, theft, you name it, since it was started by the Battle of Normandy Foundation years ago--I know whereof I speak since I was a charter member and sent funds to help pay for the 'peace garden', etc.--the whole place has been a big disappointment to many who fought during WW2 so it is no surprise (considering the political climate in Europe today)--most of the money to do the setup 'disappeared' years ago while Anthony Stout, Pres.was in charge---plenty of WW2 vets and others were given the 'shaft' by the smart guys who 'blew the dough?'--we really thought we could leave a remembrance for school kids and tourists to understand the horrific losses incurred in those days and fact that "freedom is never free"---where there is money, there always is a bunch of thieves

It mentioned it once. But I don't think anybody noticed
