| Just finished watching "American Valor" on PBS, all about the Medal of Honor winners. All the men from the past, right up to Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon. Oh my. |

| #11 Watched a good part of it. The brotherhood that these men felt for the other men in their units was a significant thread that tracked through each story even as the backdrops changed. It is eery to think that one of these guys could pass you on the streets. The Nova episode on the fellahs building the Wright Brothers' Model B was also well worth the time. |

| #10 You can go here to see if and when the show is being rebroadcasted in your area. They also have a nice collection of links here. |

| #9 PBS is a very mixed bag. Bill Moyers makes me want to projectile vomit at the screen, Frontline hits generally in the middle, but the liberals running PBS realize they have to appeal to their older (more conservative) audience too. |

| #8 i am surprised at the responses to PBS. This is an excellent station that shows unbiased programming. yes when they feature thier inhouse programming it can get out there - but overall very good programming. Also a very amazing program, I def had my emotions shook up. |

| #7 As a rule I avoid "vet shows" but my wife forced me and the kids to watch it. I cried the whole time but I'm glad I saw it. |

| #5 PBS??? Hmmm...I didn't see it, but I find it hard to believe that there wasn't a negative undercurrent running through it somehow, somewhere. Maybe they are just getting more subtle? |

| #1 It was an amazing program. I was deeply moved by the corpman who's wife was killed by a drunken driver. May God have mercy on his soul. |
