What I wrote was not ment as a controversy, iT WAS JUST HOW WE FELT ABOUT THE MOVIE. As far as I know the situation in K.C. is still Status Quo. Maybe I,(us), didn't do enough in WW II. Roque
Rocky, I know you didn't mean it as a controversy, and I wasn't referring to you per se, just to the news story itself. The Latinos certainly played a huge role in the war, as by no means should ever forgotten. But neither should the Polish-Americans, etc. either. I truly doubt that I will see many Polish-Americans in the program, if any, but I certainly do not think that Ken purposely left out men like my father.
Ken's productions are of the very highest quality and I can't imagine he and his production crew intentionally leaving any group out of the picture. He is too good an historian for that.
I suppose that people visiting my site and reading my collection of stories could approach me and say, hey, you don't have any Chinese-American memoirs on your site. Why not? Well it certainly wouldn't be oversight, nor would it be neglect or intent, but simply a fact that I have not had the opportunity to do so yet. I hope everyone will see my point.
