The producer of this video did a really excellent job adding sound in the post-production.

“I’ll Be Seeing You” was a beautiful touch.

All I am getting is a big black box. How are you running the video?If any of you get only a blank box on the page .. it may take some seconds to come up.
If after 10 or 15 seconds, nothing happens .. reload the page and it should work!
Enjoy!!

I saw this a year or so ago, and still have it on my 'favorites'.....coincidentally just Sunday I finally sat down and finished watching the DVD collection of "The Pacific".
This series had some personal significance, since Sledge grew up in Mobile with my 91 year old uncle. Now I've just gotta finish reading "With the Old Breed".

This video is about what America use to be and I’m afraid that it will never be again!
Political Correctness, Affirmative Action, Marxist-Muslim in the White House .. Over-Run with Illegals who care Nothing about America or it’s history .. I pray not but .. It may be too much and too late to ever return to a time like that! 8(

I didn’t do nuttin’. Do you have a firewall (like at work) that blocks certain content? I just tossed in a “wow” to show my gratitude, wanted to encourage that kind of post.

Thank you so much for the ping!
For all I know my future dad is in that film. Even if not, it is heartening to see the happiness and celebrations. Born a few years later, I wasn’t there but this film makes me feel I was.
Those were the days.

Honolulu was one beautiful city before it got ruined with all of the high rises.
