The National D-Day Museum (webisode)

Great Museums TV offers a preview of its episode featuring The National D-Day Museum, which aired on public television stations across the nation.

This is not the history of World War II, but the story of what it takes to transform a nation of people into a nation of warriors. This New Orleans-based museum, opened in the year 2000, talks about war in human terms and celebrates the American spirit through the personal stories and artifacts of the American men and women who sacrificed and prevailed in an epic struggle against tyranny. In one soldier's Christmas letter to "my dear little boys," a father struggles to explain war to his young children. He was killed shortly after the letter was sent, but he left his children a legacy of love and hope evidenced by his careful letter.
