Imagine it. They lived it and the world should be grateful.

I loved visiting the WWII Museum in New Orleans. Very well done.

Are you watching the WWII with Tom Hanks miniseries on the History Channel?  It is pretty good.

Yes I am, and it is. There are a lot of very good documentaries of WWII and this is one of them. It has Hanks which is a plus, and they do a great job of covering the entire war and connecting them rather than only Europe or only the Pacific. 

I’m on the third of Jeff Shaara’s historical knowledge trilogy of the war too. It’s very much historically accurate, but a novel because he has to imagine dialogue at times. It isn’t all from the Allies perspective and that’s good. It’s excellent.
