9/23/2007 - Ken Burns new documentary: The War

<p>Shogun, good grief! I’ve seen that movie and had apparently totally forgotten about it. I guess my short term memory is way better than the long term …. </p>

<p>Usna09mom, I can’t help but to be completely humbled by the amazing deeds of bravery from the stories told by some of the veterans in this series who flew aircraft. To hear some of their words about flying their missions, your Dad flying 52 of them & living through it is beyond incredible. To have his history must be a true treasure to your family.</p>

<p>Christcorp, I’m not beyond begging on behalf of any future grandchildren of yours, that you please find it in your heart to someday put pen to paper and tell your stories, atleast for your family. I know I don’t know you but I know what it is to be a granddaughter who worshipped her Grandfather and wanted to know everything about him. He wouldn‘t talk about the War and after he’d passed, it took me two years to piece together his story that will forever & always lack his personal stories & views. So much was lost to us but we treasure the knowledge we do have. See, now I’m just playin’ all over your sympathies. Top that for being “cheesie”. ;)</p>
