We recently watched the Winds of War and War and Remembrance, the Herman Wouk books turned mini-series from the 80s. It s 19 episodes in total but was surprisingly good.

We have always watched “The Longest Day” on D-Day. It has had a special significance since we visited Normandy in 2012.

Taking Chance.

Watched it last night as I do every Memorial Day weekend for the past several years now. And I cry every time.

Tnx.

Saw the recent one. One of his team really suffered. So did he. I didn’t know.

Every African-American in this country should watch “Glory’’. They should pay particular attention to part played by Denzel Washington. He won an Oscar for it.

And in great story telling, the ultimate irony is that Guinness as “Colonel Nickelson’’ is mortally wounded he falls on to the dynamite plunger thus destroying the bridge he fought so hard to build.
