While I am a Vietnam vet who saw some action, watching these first couple of episodes of the "The War" opened up my eyes even more, to the hardships that many had gone through. While I'm sure not everyone was there at Guadacanal, or North Africa, there was a shared pain all around. I want to say thanks to all of the men and woman who served either at home or abroad, one more time. I never had the opportunity to discuss with my dad his experiences (he nearly missed getting on to the USS Indianapolis, I believe),so if you have a father, uncle, grandfather, mother, aunt, or cousin who served or was at home during that time, this is a wonderful series to explore their thoughts and feelings. I can not fathom the pain and hardships you all experienced. Again, thanks.
