For the forum...
Here’s a link to an archive of threads on the PBS/Ken Burns production,
“The War”, including discussion threads on the parts of the series
and related threads touching on “The War” series.

And here’s a short heads-up: PBS will air the final episode (Part 7)
tonight (Tues 10-2-07), airing at 7PM Central and reairing at 9:30PM.
Of course, the PBS stations don’t all stick to normal air-times/dates...
so it would be wise to check this URL for local PBS stations airtime
and date:

Yes, and unfortunately it reminds me that we are fast losing our WWII vets, which will only make the situation worse. I remember when my kids were younger, that they had WWII vets that came to the schools and talked about it. Even as recently as Schindler's List (about 15 years ago if I recall correctly), I believed they showed it in the high schools, but these days, I think the exposure is going down in the schools, even if it's picked up elsewhere.
