The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

World War II Museums Show Way to VJ Day-- Part 6: National World War II Museum

The war with Japan and the country's eventual surrender are told in a new exhibit opening this December at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans.

The "Road to Tokyo" follows the trail of GIs beginning at Pearl Harbor and then through the island hopping across the Pacific over the next nearly four years.  The exhibit will show the grueling conditions faced by our men, but also facing an enemy from a vastly different culture.

Aging veterans greet visitors in the lobby at a small table and will share their experiences.
