Will do, Silverback. Uncle Bill grew up and lived in NOLA, and was an active worker in the background when the D-Day Museum was being planned and built.

I've been to the Museum many times with him, and it is so heartwarming to see a couple and their kids realize that the elderly one-armed man standing next to them was there. They usually ask about his experiences, and it brings tears to my eyes when they thank him, and usually hug him before moving off to the next exhibit.

Isn't that an odd coincidence! I was just finishing To America on Friday morning, including the chapter about the establishment of the D-Day Museum. Awesome!
