I have a picture in my office of my great-uncle J.D.West who was a co-pilot who was killed in action in WWII. On a recent visit to my parent's house, I looked through some letters J.D. had sent his sister (my grandmother) from Italy and was also able to read the account of his plane crash in the words of the chaplain assigned to the 454th Bombardment Group. It makes my heart hurt to think that there are few people alive who remember him; my dad being one of the few. I am looking forward to seeing the film, Rob.

What impresses me the most about the idea is that there is a middle school in America that bothers to take the time to try to get kids to fathom the Holocaust. I've always felt that there is a danger in the passing of time of Americans forgetting what happened in WWII. I think 'Saving Private Ryan' went a long way towards reviving our consciousness of what happened during those times. I'll have to check this out...is this at the theatre now or out on DVD?

Its out on DVD and follows several young children in their quest to win the national spelling bee. Sounds very dull but this is a touching and funny movie. You really find yourselves pulling for all the kids and are sad as they get eliminated. I highly recommend this, you will not be disappointed.

I have a great uncle on my Mom's side (I believe I was named after him) who was a gunner. He was killed in action during some bombing run. Amazing times, those were.

Extremely funny and suspenseful! I love documentaries that introduce me to people with wildly different personalities. It's so fun to see how different we all can be!
