National WWII Museum
#1

A few weeks ago I went to the WWII Museum in New Orleans, LA (NOLA) while there on business (yes, business! Not to say I didn't have a good time at the Mardi Gras prade I went to!) Anyway, I have posted the pictures of the museum on my Picasa site. Here are a few:

And the underside.

Top Secret-Bigot. I only know what that is because of the D-Day book by Ambrose. The "Bigot" designation was to identify information Top Secret information that specifically to do with the Operation Overlord. Only a very few people were given that designation, with more and more by necessity as the time for d-day got closer.
