We have a high school reunion every five years, and I've only missed one. I love catching up with old friends. Seems like life gets in the way of staying as connected as we might like,
Your excerpt is great. Makes me want to read the book.
Vicki, I think you'll be glad you watched it. It's a powerful movie. I think if you paired it with Schindler's List, you might have the two most important movies of all time. Or at least of our time. Watching it gave me a new perspective on it--especially the landing at Normandy. I'd seen actual footage, but somehow that didn't capture the horror in the same way. Probably because of the editing at the time.
Thank you, Lisa and Peggy. I hope you love Jared as much as I do. If you read the book, I'd love to hear from you.
Peggy, I can't commend your father's courage and service enough. Without it, we would be living in a very different world--and many of us would not be living at all.
