An amazing book/series.

David Schwimmer played the role of a giant prick perfectly.

This was the best miniseries ever. Still makes me cry.

It wasn't until this movie that I really fell in love with the WW2 generation. Whenever I saw those old vets walking wearing those vet hats they love so much... I'd just walk up to them and shake their hand and tell them thanks.

Recently I did this to a Vet we met and he kissed my hand Those sweet old farts are still big flirts. How funny.
