The unveiling of the Camp Shelby Gold Star Memorial Monument was a moving experience for families.
Moments where compassion collided with combat defined Roy J. Caldwood's experience as an African American medic serving with the 92nd Infantry Division during World War II.
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, PBS member station WYES-TV/New Orleans and The National WWII Museum will webcast a national, interactive Electronic Field Trip (EFT) focusing on the events of that momentous day. Debuting live on December 7 (9:00 am and 1:00 pm CST), “Remember Pearl Harbor – How Students Like YOU Experienced the Day of Infamy” will give students from across the country an opportunity to join student reporters as they deliver updates from the Museum in New Orleans and historic sites on Oahu, including Pearl Harbor.
Each year, our D-Day commemoration celebrates the Museum’s birthday but also calls to remember the men who landed on the beaches in Normandy, and Americans’ responses all around the world upon learning about the actions of that day.
Memorial Day honors those who have given all for their country and for freedom.
