I have many cousins in Madison. In fact, you can see some of them at the 2:17 point.

I saw a documentary on TV about this documentary of Madison, IN. It seemed the gov't during WWII wanted to produce a film about the "ideal" American hometown to show the troops overseas so they could be reminded of what they were fighting for and to keep up morale.. They studied a number of towns all across the country and finally settled on Madison as the most visually appealing and typically "ideal" of all the candidate towns. So they made this film. they still show this in the town museum.

Too bad you can only see the bridge briefly at the end.

This video really helps me out on making a book, (scrapbook, I hate it, guys don't make scrapbooks!), for school. It's gotta be about life during World War II, my fav subject.
