Detroit - Our Greatest Generation
My sister-in-law Anne, sent along an article clipped from a Livonia, MI newspaper. I read it this morning and contacted Keith Famie, executive producer, who immediately wrote back. The above link is their documentary tribute to Michigan WWII veterans. Enjoy!

Wow! Awesome. Bless them.
God bless those heroes who suffered and died, for plain folks, like you and me.
War is a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.

Oh Marion, this is so AWESOME!!! God bless and keep them all - we owe them SO much! How I wish my Dad could have lived to be part of something like this, but I believe that somehow he and all the other WWII Vets are there in spirit.
I'm gonna email my state senator (one of the few in Mass who is a really good man) and ask him why can't we do something like this too?
It's just an absolutely wonderful thing!
