This volunteer is your guide at the National World War Two Museum

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — With dozens of exhibits and thousands of artifacts, the National World War Two Museum can be a daunting place for visitors.

Did a relative fight in an Army unit in Belgium? There’s an entire wing devoted to the European Theater. Did a family friend man the machine guns on Okinawa? A separate wing of the Museum is devoted to that. Every significant battle of the war is represented, and the tanks, planes, boats, uniforms, weapons and much, much more are spread out across almost an entire city block.

Want to experience it, without feeling like you’ve survived years of combat yourself?

Volunteer Bob Campo is the man you need to talk to.

Campo can tell you where to find the D-Day invasion (Louisiana Pavilion, second floor), the cockpit of a B-24 (Freedom Pavilion, ground floor), the Navajo code-talkers (Pacific Theater, “Road to Tokyo,”) and just about anything else that lead to the Allied victory.

You’ll meet Campo in our story above, and see why his role at the Museum is so important.

Then, make sure to watch WGNO’s special report, “Veterans Voices,” airing on WGNO-TV at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 12.
