Midway 2019 best Movie I have seen in years.

Highly recommend it. Movie focuses on the humans with excellent acting. Special effects are superb.

I think it's important for our youth to watch it.

So few of our WWII Vets are around that WWII is being forgotten.

One of my mentors was a WWII waist gunner in a B-24 stationed in England.

He taught me how to work on Cars and restore WWII Rifles starting when I was 12. He also mentored me in my profession.

He is still alive. I haven't seen him in years.

I haven't seen the movie. My dad was a 1937 graduate of OCS and went on to the Corps of Engineers School in Missouri. Dad served in Europe and Korea (where he met my mom in a Tokyo hospital). I was registered for the Vietnam draft but was never called. Dad advised me to stay clear of the military as it had gone to **** after the JFK 'debacle'.

Attached is a very interesting story about a friend of mine who was a Vietnam Vet who stopped the over throw of a Country.

THAT MOVIE WAS TRASH. Go watch the original one from the 1960's. 1000% better. That CGI was so bad. They could not even get 1 real plane, a real ship etc.... I could have done better video with a GOPRO.

Yeah, not a single WWII Vet was in the film, no Adm. Nimitz, no Adm. Yamamoto, no Matt Garth... Even the blood was fake.

Douglas SBD-3s, Hornet, Mikuma, Arizona, Yorktown, Akagi.... are all available for Charter.

Knowledge of history, the real thing, is vitally important.
