From the Mississippi to Normandy: The National WWII Museum of the USA is in New Orleans—because of a certain Mr. Higgins, “the man who won the war for us.”

Landing thousands of men and vehicles over a beach requires coordination and organization. On Omaha Beach, Louisiana native Frank H. Walk kept men and equipment moving and organized.

New Orleans born Major General Joe Collins led the US Army's VII Corps in Europe, battling German forces from Normandy to the Elbe River.

A highlight of some of the best programs the Museum has hosted over the years on our home state Louisiana.

A night of horror, and the worst maritime disaster of all time.
