WWII Buffs
I heard a great interview on the way to work this morning with Ken Burns the producer and director of forthcoming documentary on WWII that will be showing on PBS in seven parts called The War.
I nearly teared up driving to work. It sounds as though it will be one of those you want to see. It's done at the level of personal accounts rather than about glorified generals. They looked a four different families from across America to tell the stories that for too long have been kept silent. It won't be long and the men and women that fought in that war to keep our freedoms will no longer be with us to tell the stories that they continue to live with and don't share.
I'm going to be giving it a view. This is definitely must see TV.
My geeky PBS viewing side is showing.  I felt the need to share. Mark your calendar it starts the 23rd of September.
