Yes, this was a very good documentary on PBS. Sometimes they do surprise.

And this was an amazing story as well: BE GOOD, SMILE PRETTY. Very touching documentary about a woman who lost her dad in 'nam. He was a USNA grad, and a gunboat Captain. Even Kerry makes an appearance in this.

Mike Durant wrote a book about his experience in Somalia. In it he talks about going to Gary Gordon's Maine hometown to give a speech honoring the soldier who gave his life to try and save his. Since Gordon won the Medal of Honor (posthumously) Durant decided to get a book from the town's library about medal of honor winners as a reference. He saw that no one had checked out the book in over 20 years. The last person to check the book out: Gary Gordon.

"His death was not in vain," she (his mother) said. "He not only was doing good in Iraq, but helping our people preserve freedom for this country."

God bless this family in their time of sorrow.
