Stories about the heroes.......2002-05-22

I prefer books and movies that give me a chance to learn about the soldiers that fought for our country. The Medal of Honor stories gave me a very brief, but important look at those who fought for my freedom. The personal accounts are very well done. I believe all would like to hear the story of each medal of honor recipient.

War , what is it good for?.......2000-08-12

I respect the men (and women) who fought for truth, justice and the American way, and gave thier lives. But this documentary is more suited to cable tv than a DVD release.

I admit it is often tear-jerking to hear the reminiscing of the old veterans and what they went through, but it gets a tad dull and boring. The same message of the futility of war can be found in Saving Private Ryan, which is more exciting as an added bonus.

Heroic veterans of WWII recount their medals with stories and images and why they received them. Should appeal to all lovers of military history and anyone affiliated with the Armed Services.
