D-Day Museum plan gets boost from Private Ryan

Despite the ample coverage of the Normandy Invasion in countless taxpayer-funded military museums across the US, there are plans for a new "D-Day-only" museum. D-day historian Stephen Ambrose hopes to open it in his hometown of New Orleans, LA. The idea has gotten an economic boost by recent donations from "Private Ryan" director Stephen Spielberg and actor Tom Hanks. Ambrose served as a consultant on the film.

The 15 million dollar museum is proposed to open June 6th, 2000. [08/23/1998]
