The National World War II Museum

I look forward to it...coming with 12 guests to celebrate my 40th birthday!!

Wow! Happy birthday Tracy. I hope you have a blast.

Words can not describe the debt that is owed to all of these men and women, who put it all on the line both on distant shores, and at home. God bless each and everyone of them.

Mr. Mike Quiroz

Today, on Veterans Day, my message to you is simple: Thank you. Thank you for your selfless service, for your valor, and for your strength of purpose that make all of us proud to be Americans.

Today, Americans will pause amidst a great conversation about the future of our nation to take a moment and recognize your service to our democracy -- a service that guarantees us all the liberty to engage freely in that conversation, no matter what our views may be.

We know that we owe you a debt that cannot be repaid. But we can and will fulfill our nation's promise to stand by you and your loved ones. That is why we've worked hard for better care for our veterans, and why we provided the largest increase in Veterans Administration funding in history.

Today, we honor those Americans past and present who've served on battlefields from Lexington to Antietam, Normandy to Manila, Inchon to Khe Sanh, Ramadi to Kandahar. You have defended our freedom on land, and at sea, and in the air.

You reflect the diversity that makes this America. You share a patriotism beyond question. And you share the same unflinching courage, selfless compassion, and uncommon camaraderie that -- when faced with the tragedy of a despicable and heartbreaking attack last Thursday -- the soldiers and civilians of Ft. Hood humbly revealed to the world.

You and your loved ones are the patriotic men and women we honor today, Veterans Day. And you are the men and women we shall honor every day, in times of war and times of peace, so long as our nation endures.

Thank you.

President Barack Obama

Very true! Now the NY Post has changed it to 8 reasons! I have friends coming in town from Florida at the end of November. They were here last year and we went to the museum and I'm taking them back again to see the new theater. Keep up the good work!

very impressive!

I look forward to seeing it!

Great! I'm looking forward to seeing it. Can't wait to get back to New Orleans. Great place to visit.

Wish I lived closer.

Beyond all Boundries..........
Wow, amazing!!!

Oh, I wish I could be there...

Wish I could go.

Can't wait for tomorrow. I'll be the first one in line.

I am glad that this country is finally recognizing the men and women that made this country great and safe.

Can't wait to see all the new goodies! Best thing that ever happened to this city. I love this museum. :-)

Loving the live webcast, I wish my father was there to see this.

Thats awesome to hear of that many WWII veterans getting together, many thanks to them for fighting and defending this Nation!

It was a *fabulous* night.

Post pictures! :D

God bless all of the brave men and women who sacrificed so much, including, for many, their own lives, to provide us with the freedom we enjoy today. My Dad landed at Utah Beach with the 4th Infantry Division on D-Day, and he lived to tell about it. Unfortunately, he died in 1995, and never had the opportunity to see this great museum.
My mother-... Read Morein-law lives across the river in Westwego, LA, and evey time we visit I make it a point to visit the museum. I only wish I could be there today to join in the celebration and to honor our veterans.
