If any of you followed the thread on my friend's late grandfather who was a B-17 ball turret gunner, you may enjoy this. This is what I put together for his family that wanted to get an idea of what he saw. I hope you guys enjoy.

Thanks for all of the great comments. It was a blast to make, and watch my friend learn about his grandfather.

That's the neatest thing I've seen in quite some time...beautifully done.

You have a special gift, my friend.

Very well done Chris...bravo. The song fits perfectly with the message you are trying to get across to the younger generation today who can't imagine what the Greatest Generation went through.

You have a gift there pal...you should do more of these.

Great job Chris. Like others have said, "what a great choice of song."
It is so tough for me and many in my generation (Y) to visualize this time as anything but shades of gray.
I know this time was aweful but at the same time it is my biggest wish to be able to go back in time to experience this through my own eyes.
Once again Chris, great job. I hope others of my generation will be able to see it and think of WWII as more than just another chapter in their history textbook.
Regards,
Mark
