The Longest Day is on of my personal favorites.

Your illustration and Angela’s colors were so cool that I knew the speech had to be EPIC to do them justice.

I’ve been a history enthusiast since I was a kid, mostly WWII and ancient, Greek and Roman military history, but I can’t claim to be any sort of authority on the subject. When I was fairly young (maybe 10?), my dad introduced me to iconic movies such as The Longest Day, Battle of the Bulge, Midway, The Great Escape, Bridge on the River Kwai, Tora! Tora! Tora!, Von Ryan’s Express, Kelly’s Heroes and Where Eagles Dare, and many more over the years. Saving Private Ryan is a…difficult…movie for me to watch, but I think it’s an important piece of cinematic history that should be recognized for it’s unflinching look at some of the terrors that soldiers faced during the war. D-Day in particular was a monumental undertaking never before seen in history, and probably will never be seen again. It was a marvel of logistics, industry, ingenuity and human courage that should never be forgotten or taken for granted.

I am (like everyone else I think) just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
