I thought Ken Burns' series lived up to the high quality one has come to expect from him!
I watched all 7 episodes, and felt priviledged to sit through Monday's episode with my folks. My dad was on an ammo ship in the Pacific Theater, and didn't really have much to say. Probably because my mom had a running commentary about the various people they grew up with in small town Idaho who served in the various battles, those that didn't make it and those that did.
She mentioned that my dad's mother was a nervous wreck for 4 years with three sons in various branches of the military, and never did know that her youngest(my father)was on an ammo ship.
I have a very deep appreciation for the sacrifices "The Greatest Generation" made, watching it with parents who lived it and commented freely about (at least one)their rememberences only deepened that appreciation.
