I am so excited! Loved Band of Brothers, especially as Dad was in the 101st in Vietnam. However, I was also a Marine wife, so I have a soft-spot there, too.

I hope they work in a little of the war at sea, as well.
Hollywood has yet to even come CLOSE to doing justice to the sights, sounds and scale of utter violence of some of our sailors' epic encounters with the Japanese navy.
The naval war in the pacific produced many stories that would not have been believed were they written as fiction.

If you get the chance read “With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa” by E.B. Sledge. A great, truly great book!
