A friend gave Wayne and me the PBS series The War on DVD.  We’ve watched a segment every night and are caught up in the tremendous sacrifice the men and women of our parents’ generation made in the war years.  My own father was taken as a POW, captured during the Battle of the Bulge, and held in Germany until the end of the war.  I phoned my uncle, a former Marine, this morning and learned he was on Guadalcanal and several other islands in the South Pacific.  This series has given me a fresh perspective of what it means to be part of The Greatest Generation.
