I too am anxiously awaiting PBS' Sept 23rd broadcast.You guys might want to download the viewers guide pdf on their website
for a more detailed view of the series (if you haven't already).
After he released The Civil War, I was able to get tickets to hear Ken Burns speak
at Salem State and actually got to talk with him afterwards. He certainly
is a very talented & interesting fellow and I was VERY excited when I heard
he was going to make this series. I'm always leery of political agendas, but
I think he may well be one of the few people who would do justice to a work of
this magnitude. I hope so. "Our" VI Corps fellows & especially the Mediterranean
Theater always seem to be ignored. People act like
the war didn't start till June 6th. Try telling THAT to the guys who were
at N. Africa, Salerno, Anzio, and Cassino! What do people think THAT was?
A walk in the park?
Anyway, I guess we all know what we'll be doing Sept 23rd.
Who'se bringin' the
?
I ain't makin' popcorn for all you guys, I'll tell you that right now!
