This was one of the best programs to date. I got a little choked up when that young female Sergeant went to the WWII memorial to leave her Unit Patch. Hearing how the WWII veterans embraced her was very moving. It reminded me of that scene in Kyle Hausmann-Stoke's movie, 'Now, After' when he goes to the VA. I've been promoting his site but I noticed that you can't access the films any more. Anyway, thanks CJ, Troy and Marcus for these great shows. I always listen to the podcast the next day CJ.

At the time of his death, Skip was writing a personal account of the war in an effort to rationalize the havoc surrounding him and his fellow soldiers. In honor of his son, Mr. Griffin Sr. traveled to Iraq to witness for himself the lifestyle of a soldier. Combined with his son's sensitive, at times philosophical correspondence, Mr. Griffin Sr. provides a unique and intimate perspective on war that is unknown to many Americans. We hope you will share our tremendous enthusiasm for this work that commemorates the life of a patriot. Best regards, Peter Desrochers Greetings,
