Coincidentally, Bro and I arrived at the WW2 History museum in New Orleans just as the funeral was letting out. We saw the memorial in the opening hall, but didn't realize the funeral was actually going on there until security kindly waved us and other arriving people back from the area the funeral-goers would be passing through. We saw several well-decorated young blue berets coming out ahead of the main congregation, but then we had to pull back to the theater to catch the Tom Hanks introduction show (and we didn't want to gawk anyway.) By the time the show was done, the congregation had passed on out.

:notworthy:
