Anyone up here in the great white north of Canada (Seriously, I just looked outside my window and we were dumped on last night -- I'm in the prairies) that has The History Channel (http://www.history.ca/), they are playing all four episodes back to back of the documentary mini-series as part of their Remembrance Day programming beginning at noon central time.

And, on a personal note...if anyone knows a veteran, please take a moment to thank them today. If any of you are veterans of any nation that have put yourself on the line to protect my freedoms, you have my deepest gratitude and always will.

That is all. I now return you to your regularly scheduled sub-simming.

An excellent series. I have it on DVD, but I am still watching it on History as I type this. My great grandfather served in the Royal Navy in WW1 and my grandfather served on oil tankers during WW2. Many of my Newfie ancestors served in those two wars.

My Uncle served on the USS Hornet (CV-12) during WW2. He was a Lt. j.g., and flew a corsiar fighter. He died two weeks ago at the age of 90. Fair winds, and following seas, Uncle Keith.
