I recently saw this video as being given away free and I wondered if anyone else had seen the video, info or ordered it?
Placed my order, but it has not arrived yet...

You say it's free but you don't say what it is or any thing about it.

Don,

Oops, I was tired and forgot to include the link...sorry..just brain dead lately.

Here is a brief description and the link:

Free DVD from College of the Qzarks
This is a powerful film about bridging the gap between generations of Americans and WWII Veterans.

Thanks for the updated information, when you get it and watch it I expect a review of the DVD under this Topic. Also it would most likely be shipped as Media mail at the lowest cost so may take awhile to get it.

I thought it looked interesting too. I am going to order it next week and see what it is about. I was hoping others might either know something about it or also want to order it.

Thanks Jackie! I just ordered one. After I submitted my info this appeared:

This is a powerful film about bridging the gap between generations of Americans and WWII Veterans. College of the Ozarks, in fulfilling its goal of patriotic education, is committed to providing opportunities for its students to travel with WWII Veterans back to the battlefields where the soldiers fought. For the students, they grow to understand and appreciate the sacrifices that were made for their freedom; for the Veterans, they not only have closure from the war, but they also know that their stories will not be forgotten.

Sounds good! I hope I don't get on some never ending mailing list though....

Josie 🙂

That's why I have a second email address used only for stuff like this. I only check it when I need to. They can spam me to their hearts content... Two cents.

Oh man, now I have to have a fourth email address??? Darn spammers! 😉 (I have three for work and personal)
I actually got a notification this morning that there was a reply to my post so that was cool. The last one I received was an old one.
The site is pepped up today! Woo Hoo!

Thanks Ed!
