I can remember sitting down in front of the TV every sunday to watch "Victory at Sea" as a child. The stock footage from the war and the wonderfully matched score by Richard Rodgers really was a real treat for a youhg boy. The horrors and intense struggles of the Armed forces and merchant marine depicted in those 26 shows had great impact. The sacrifice of men and women of all countries should be revered forever by every person on the planet. What we have today was made possible by those who served.
Anyone interested in the shows can find them on a three CD set by Mill Creek. I bought mine recently at Wal-Mart from the value bin for five dollars. It is just as good as I remembered.
