It was a British documentary with the last survivors of World War I, talking about the war in their own words. It was very powerful. <br />World War 2 is something that I have devoted a lot of my time reading and researching, and there were many in the US who still wanted peace and wanted America to stay out of it when it was absolutely necessary for the US to enter into it. No one wants war but when war is declared, I am proud of those who are prepared to fight wherever they are sent. (The average age in Vietnam was 19.) I only wish that the memorial to the World War 2 vets could have been built earlier in Washington D.C, before so many of them had died. <br />It is truly heartbreaking to read these books that I read about wars and those who fought in them, but I think we should remember them and honor them.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-51639833358237680902013-10-25T06:45:59.184-04:002013-10-25T06:45:59.184-04:00Yes, and just like "Unbroken", it might ...Yes, and just like "Unbroken", it might take years but it should also be made into a movie, look out for it! xxKay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-68378678197209335902013-10-25T06:44:35.939-04:002013-10-25T06:44:35.939-04:00You should read this book when it comes out.
