On Memorial Day and every day, the name of Richard McCurdy, killed in action during Operation Torch, and other boys like him should be kept alive and their sacrifices and those of their families remembered. They were and are part of a nation, a city, a neighborhood, and a family.
Veterans, their families and the general public will come together this weekend for a series of events at The National WWII Museum held in honor of Memorial Day.

Music brings together people of all backgrounds, unifying them for the measures and notes of a song. Music is also an especially powerful educational tool—something visitors to The National WWII Museum will experience firsthand when the Violins of Hope arrive in New Orleans in January 2023. Violins of Hope is a project of concerts based on a private collection of violins, violas, and cellos all collected since the end of World War II, many of which belonged to Jews before and during the war.
Local teachers are invited to join Museum staff in Louisiana Memorial Pavilion for our Teacher Appreciation Night.
