The National WWII Museum will host the 11th International Conference on World War II in New Orleans from Thursday, November 29 to Saturday, December 1.
The National World War II Museum is officially going to the
dogs (and horses, mules and birds!) with the newest exhibit Loyal Forces: The Animals of World
War II. On display July 22 – October 17, 2010, the exhibit focuses on the animals employed and
encountered throughout World War II, from the Home Front to the Pacific. Loyal Forces will explore
another side of the war, and demonstrate how lessons learned then continue to help us today in the
utilization of animals and their unique abilities.
