Great pictures. This was back when it was cool to be patriotic.

You think they’ll fall over the railing, like they do at sporting events?

How strange the universe works. We watched the “Bataan” and “Monuments Men” last night.

Loved Monuments Men and the bitter sweet story. A much more modern story than Bataan.
I liked Bataan’s storyline. Love Rod Taylor in his role, and love the hokey ending and Hollywood gimmicks–pre-CGI.
It did make me wonder how many of them served during the war and what kind of trauma they might have endured to make the film.

War movies make me sad. So you saw the 1943 movie and then the recent Matt Damon one? I saw Mon Men available on our cable. Might give it a try.

‘Monuments Men’ was really fascinating, Kerbey. I think you’ll like it. A different angle for a WW II movie. These are great photos!

can’t even imagine the celebratory vibe. At war, then not.
