Peter Vandyke’s steps may have slowed some since he stormed Normandy Beach, but the Army uniform he first wore in 1942 still fits, and he wore it proudly as he walked around the National World War II Museum’s latest additions.


They include a theater, restaurant and a replica of the “Stage Door Canteens” that cheered military men during the war. Vandyke, 91, was one of hundreds of World War II veterans—including 16 members of the Tuskegee Airmen and three Medal of Honor winners—on hand Friday for the official opening of the new facilities.


The new Victory Theater, Stage Door Canteen, and the American Sector restaurant make up a $60 million segment of the ultimate $300 million expansion of the museum that will continue through 2015.
