Have you been to the D-Day Museum web site? The artifact of the month (August) is a life jacket! What irony!

Cheers,

New Orleans: Confederate Memorial Hall Update

Sam Hood, who is a member of the board of directors of Confederate Memorial Hall, sends us the following news: He has spoken to Mrs. Pat Ricci, curator of the hall. She reports that as of yesterday (Aug. 31) the museum is apparently not flooded.

A major concern remains security. His reports indicate that the National D-Day museum directly across the street from the Confederate Museum has been "gutted and trashed by looters."

Sadly, we are informed that the homes of every member of the Museum's staff are under water. The entire staff is now homeless and will have nothing to return to. Sam informed Mrs. Ricci of the efforts of all the readers of this site to inform the Civil War community of their plight and she has asked that all of you be thanked.

More updates will be posted as they become available.

I saw that too BDK . Fortunately an assistant curator wrote on another board that there was no damage. Hope that's good info.

May not be so bad as initial reports. MSNBC's Brian Williams
reported "superficial damage" during the Chris Matthews show.
