Good morning crew,
I don't know about you, but I am a big fan of history. I
think everybody is, whether they know it or not. That's why
historical and period movies are so popular. We want to be
able to look back into the past.
I am especially fascinated with the World War II documen-
taries. It's the footage. You can read all you want about
the War of Independence or the War of 1812, but you'll
never know just what it was like to be there.
But there was so much coverage of WW II you can almost live
the experience. In fact, that was sort of the idea that NBC
had when they created the series called 'Victory At Sea' in
1952.
Almost 13,000 hours of footage shot by the major combatant
navies, including Japanese footage, was carefully sorted
through and cut together to let American audiences experience
the war on the high seas like never before.
The 26-episode series represented one of the most ambitious
documentary undertakings. For years it was unavailable, but
now you can get the entire program on DVD in one 2-volume
collection. And GopherCentral.com subscribers can get it for
60 dollars off of the original retail price.
26 Digitally Restored and Re-mastered Episodes for $9.99!
Victory At Sea DVD Set (2 DVD's)

This is THE version to own. Don't be fooled with lower price,
lower quality versions. This is the best version available. I
know you'll enjoy it!
Okay, enough of the history lesson, let's get on with some
jokes.
Laugh it up,
Joe

Two political candidates were having a hot debate. Finally,
one of them jumped up and yelled at the other ,"What about
the powerful interest that controls you?"
And the other guy screamed back, "You leave my wife out of
this!"
