I have to blame Goofy for my watching this show at all. He kept talking about it. I finally had to see what he was all about.
It was incredibly well done. I noted Maj. Winters passing and felt both sad and proud. His group's tale made the horrors of WWII real for me. My best friend's g-father was on the beach at Normandy and survived. He still has effects from that.
