: First, a great thank you to Elaine for all the info on the history channel.  This weekend they ran a series on the American Revolution which was very interesting.

: Since I am such an avid reader, I wanted to pass on a heads-up to anyone else interested in WWII.  I purchased a book, "Flags of our Fathers" by Bradley.  His father was one of the flag raisers at Iwo Jima.  He was a Navy Corpsman assigned to Marines.  I sent the book to my father for Father's Day.  I had to read it before I sent it and I was hooked after the first couple of pages.  I had no idea what terrible things happened to our young men in that battle.  If you run into this book, please get it and read it.  It really opened my eyes.
: I now know why my parents are so avid in their reactions to the Japanese to this day.

: I also found, "Ghost Soldiers" by Hampton Sides.  I just started it so I will have to let you know what I think.  Side's story is about the Rangers who were sent to rescue the survivors of the Bataan Death March.  I think this will be a good one too.

: I have been so disappointed in Disney for changing the movie "Pearl Harbor" so it can been shown in Japan.  They edited strongly to make it fit the Japanese view of this event in our history.

: This is why it is sooo important that we keep reading, reading, reading.  It is too easy to judge events in history by our values of today.

: Thank you again Elaine, for all your info.  Also, Rich, if you have a minute could you recommend several books on Custer that I could read.  Another door has opened.  Marcia, how are you coming on DDL book?

: My best to all,  I think of you often.

: Ellen
