      3 miles up; 3 miles down.

      An annual audiobook listen for me is Winters’ memoirs, Beyond Band of Brothers. Helps keep me grounded.

      I do this with The Pacific too. Masters of the Air was also really good

      Oh, man. Fantastic show, but I find it really hard to watch because I know it’s so damn accurate.

      I admire your commitment, it should be in high school history classes. It shows better than anything I’ve ever watched, how hellish it was for everyone.

      The D-day beaches, holy hell.

        They did a great job of being even handed, and the final episode where the general is addressing his men was so well done, it’s very moving.
