Good luck.

I'm sure that if the rest of the series paints the US in as bad a light as the bit I saw, it will be required viewing in all public schools.

My grandfather helped to liberate Dachau (I think, he only told the story to me once, and I really, really wish I had been old enough to know to pay better attention....). At any rate, his comment to me was that after seeing the camp, he had no doubts as to who the good guys were, or why he was in Europe.

I'm not sayin' that there weren't any problems with that generation, I'm just sayin' that the generation wasn't all about the problems.

I remember when I was in Sunday School, probably around 1970, maybe when I was 10 years old, Mr. Blair came in and talked to us about WWII and how he had helped to liberate concentration camps. He looked like a tough guy but he was clearly moved by what he had seen. I was way too young to really understand, or to thank him.

I didn't quite "get it" at the time. But I've forgotten it.
