A reminder that
filmmaker Ken Burns' epic "The War" is showing this and nex
t week on PBS. Aunt Florence called to say that she and Harry, who fought heroically in the absolutely hellish
Battle of Tarawa (during which the above photo was taken), watched the first episode tonight and were very impressed.
A recent presentation by Burns at the Star Tribune had even crusty old journalists looking misty-eyed, and Burns was by all accounts warm, friendly and respectful during a visit afterward to Luverne, Minn., which is featured in the documentary.
World War II pretty much shaped our parents, cousins. Who knows? Maybe we'll even see one of the uncles in the footage.
