"A look at the life of WWII veteran Eugene Sledge featuring interviews with Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, actor Joe Mazzello and the team behind the HBO miniseries "The Pacific."
"Interesting fact: Eugene Sledge's brother Edward was awarded the silver star for his actions in Europe. He was on Omaha beach, the Hurtgen forest and the battle of the bulge."
"'With The Old Breed' is a fantastic book. My father was in 1st Marines at Guam and Okinawa (3rd amphib). He never wanted to tell us about it. I now know why after reading Sledges' book. My dad was, and still is my hero. He embodied the true meaning of Semper Fi. I am a good man because of him.:"
The Pacific: Marines of the Pacific - Robert Leckie "One of Robert Leckie’s children - David - was my son Chase’s 8th grade teacher. Chase really valued the type of teacher “Mr. Leckie” was... kind, committed to his students, humble. I think Robert would be very proud of his son. And what kid doesn’t remember their favorite teacher? The Leckie legacy extends beyond one family... and beyond the battlefield."
