A
comic book displays fighter pilot Randall Keator's
bravery.
This is not the history of World War II, but the story
of what it takes to transform a nation of people into
a nation of warriors. This New Orleans-based museum,
opened in the year 2000, talks about war in human terms
and celebrates the American spirit through the personal
stories and artifacts of the American men and women
who sacrificed and prevailed in an epic struggle against
tyranny. In one soldier's Christmas letter to "my
dear little boys," a father struggles to explain
war to his young children. He was killed shortly after
the letter was sent, but he left his children a legacy
of love and hope evidenced by his careful letter.
