While in New Orleans I checked out the World War II museum. It’s quite the sobering event to see the hardship, struggle, and human misery that was inflicted on the world by power-hungry fanatics. Everyone should visit this museum at some time in their life. You will come away with the appreciation that war is not the answer to peace in our time. The brutality and human sacrifice that is exhibited (for those of us who weren’t there) is numbing. Here are a few photos.
