"THE PACIFIC" ON HBO

Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have teamed up once again to bring us a great "docudrama" of WWII.

Done in the same style and passion as "Band Of Brothers", "THE PACIFIC"  is the the story of the United States Marines in the war against Japan. It will focus on the true stories of three Marines, the battles they engaged in and what they went through during this horrendous conflict.  This 10 part mini series will give those who watch a realistic view of the obstacles and hardships the Marines faced, what they gave for their country, and what they gave for each other.  As Spielberg puts it. "...it's brutal, it's honest and it's right their in your face...as it was for them."  I would like to thank all those involved for putting this story on the screen.  As WWII vets numbers dwindle, Americans should never forget the sacrifice they made for our country.

For those interested, I have included a brief trailer and below that a link to a 20 minute video which documents the making of the series.
