The National D-Day Museum

[BOSSHOG]

in New Orleans is incredible. I went there last week with visiting family members. Extremely well done; a can't miss sight in a city full of can't miss sights. One of the exhibits was a handwritten note from General Eisenhower written on the 5th of June, the day before D-Day. This isn't a direct quote but the message was:

I take full and sole responsibility for anything that might go wrong during this exercise. Compare and contrast exercise for conservative lemmings - bush did not serve honorably and bush does not take responsibility for anything; go ahead, compare him with Ike.

1. Is that the place that has the landing craft...

That these old WWII veterans found in Greece or someplace and they brought it back to restore it. The ship so old and rusted out that it nearly sank in the mid-Atlantic and all these guys were over 65 years old. That was pretty hardcore.

2. That would be the LST-325

(Landing Ship Tank) that is currently on display in Mobile Alabama but will soon go to Boston for a tour and then be permanently located in Indiana where most LST's were made. And yes that was totally hardcore when those old Salts brought their Lady across the Atlantic from Greece. Check their story out at www.lstmemorial.org.
