“This operation is not being planned with any alternatives. This operation is planned as a victory, and that’s the way it’s going to be. We’re going down there, and we’re throwing everything we have into it, and we’re going to make it a success.” — U.S. Army General Dwight Eisenhower
In March I was happy to spend much of two days viewing, hearing, and reading exhibits in the National World War Two Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A.
