I want to thank the person who took the time to post the entire series. I also watched this when I was young with my wonderful father who was a WWII veteran. We should never take for granted the sacrafice that our soldiers make both in the past and now.

One great quote from this series, "Our young men will continue to fight and die as long as there is tyranny in the world". God bless America and the men and women who have died to keep her free.

Timeless. My dad who is 83 and still alive is an ex marine and fought in Iwo Jima and some of the other islands in the pacific. He saw this recently and was in tears. He remembered when he came off the ship and his family was there hugging him and it brought back many memories.

God bless America.

To this day he has never bought any item that is japenese

When I was in the Navy they would broadcast this on one of the channels on my ship all day long. At first I thought it was corny, but as I grew older I saw how great a series this is and until this day it is my favorite t.v. series even though I'm only 37. The part I really like about this episode is how proud people in the U.S. must have felt after being at war for four years and winning this ultimate victory and how deserving our men coming home from war were celebrated!

When Richard Rodgers was approached by NBC to write the score for this series, he was at the height of his magnificent career on Broadway with Oscar Hammerstein. He put his career on hold to spend the time neceesary to compose this most magnificent score. And, while the footage is magnificent, this score really gives it life. He did this because he believed in the importance of telling this story, and he was an American. He was a genius with his art.

We used to watch this series on sunday evenings in Boston when I was a kid in the 50's. My father would say, "we were there," "we were there, and there."

He was on the USS Renshaw DD-499 a Destroyer and they didn't make it all the way through, they were torpedoed by a Jap sub on Feb 21, 1945 and 21 guys were killed and many wounded including my father.

They were in Bremerton, Wash. in the shipyard when the war ended.

I bought this whole series from Time-Life.

I hope you guys get this video. In the early 1950's a great documentary was made by the name of Victory at Sea. Many of us grew up with it. The musical score was done by Richard Rogers and Leonard Graves did the narration. It had 26 episodes and I have attached number 26, part 3. It is of a bunch of Service Men coming home. "One Last Parade". These guys helped us enjoy the time down at Avalon Park. We owe them are very best at Culpepper.
