I told my mom when we were watching this that it really makes you look at people like our uncle Tom, our friend Walter, and my grouchy grandpa a little differently, doesn't it?

Amen to that Brooke.. I have probably said it before, but programs like this have resulted in a big change in the way I view Seniors in general. For example... I no longer find myself doing a slow burn if I'm standing in a line at the store and it takes "too long" for the elderly person ahead of me to pay, or in traffic if they are driving "too slow" for my satisfaction. I am ashamed to even admit that things like this did bother me at one time but it's true, and I'm probably not the only one. I think God has used WWII history programs to teach me a lesson in humility
What I started to post in this thread was a comparison between 'The War', and 'The Color of War', which was produced by the History Channel. Both are great, but if I had to choose between the two I would lean more toward 'The Color of War.' They are similar in length but I learned more from 'Color' and it's priced at about half the price of 'The War.' My other reasons are based only on personal preference, as they are both great films!
