@Gunny, I really liked the series. So much so I purchased the DVD set. My son acquired it prior to deploying.
Although IMO the production quality and writing is not as good I also enjoyed “The Pacific”. I had read Sledge’s account and the companion book to this series also. I would recommend these also when you are taking a break from self improvement vehicles.
My father was Navy, landed on Okinawa in the fourth wave. By his account it was a stand up, walk ashore landing, later not so much. He very rarely spoke about much of it. What I read in Sledge’s account and watched in The Pacific, mirrored what dad told me on rare occasion. For me these were touchstones to my father’s memory.
BITS Me 55, ACK, when did that happen? Doesn't feel like 55 D 30 S 27
