Gunny,

Even though I wasn't a Jarhead in Nam, thanks for the heads-up, this is something I want to watch. Beats the h**l out of Memorial Day sales, which I totally disagree with. Way too solemn of a day to be turned into something this commercial.

onedash,
Thanks for posting the schedule. That was one terrible day for the Columbus based reserve unit.

I just want to give folks a heads up - much of this documentary was created with video and pictures taken by the soldiers.

Thanks for the heads up!

I just checked my Direct TV programing and found it at 8 PM (Central Time) tonite (May 25th), thanks for the heads up.

I used to live in Columbus Ohio many years ago, worked as Lead designer for Western Electric's internal test equipment program.

Just finished watching, one of the best things (and the saddest) I've eer seen on TV in a really long time.

All you Jarheads (and all Vets) should feel real proud.

This is what Memorial Day is all about.
