Head Sup!

I’ve watched the first two episodes.

One thing certain is that if you want to understand your mother/father & grandparents (regardless of which side they may have been on), watch the show.

Try not to watch it with too much alchohol.

Thanks Bud.

I’ve been watching some of it. Frankly, Ken Burns is the only thing besides Red Green ever worth watching on PBS.

The War is quite compelling.

Thanks for the ping, raygun. I haven’t watched. Five of my six uncles were in the armed forces during WWII. The sixth was in Korea. My uncle Bill’s graphic experience on the beach on D-Day was recounted in a multi-page article in The Detroit Free Press several years ago.

None of my uncles ever said one word to me about their experiences. Three are gone.

America’s finest.
