Did you make one on WWII? I am looking forward to seeing it. My father quit high school to serve. He went in the Navy on a supply ship the USS DuPage. One night they were caught in the typhoon. His Admiral chose to keep his ships in the cove in of someplace maybe Guadalcanal (? I know there is a book about it. And the other admiral (famous maybe Nimitz) took his out to see and they got rocked by the typhoon. He also tells the story of his ship getting hit by a Kamakazi plane that was shot down. But it skipped off the water and took the bridge of the ship off. I apologize I wrote to early it is a documentary on WWII. I thank you for honoring, Men like my father and women like my mother who stayed home and worked jobs formerly done by men. Jay Putt I thought this was a documentary on WWII.
