It was well done and about time that the efforts and sacrafices of these men and ladies get our thanks and respect. It took guts and resolve to do what they did. Today TV would make the war a vastly different thing to fight. Had they had todays TV coverage and press there would be no synagogues left in the Old World. That scares me for the future.
My father never laments the use of the bomb. He was about to go ashore in the final invasion. He had been island hopping across the Pacific for the entire war. Few know that the military ordered half a million body bags in anticipation of the losses that the invasion would result in invading Japan.
My only regret is that the monument to the WWII vets was delayed for decades. Many who served died before their sacrifices were honored. I thank my father and father in law every Veterans Day, and Memorial day for their service. Without them and other like them we would by typing in another world and maybe in another language.
