Outstanding B-24 Video: Watch it Here

My friend Marilyn Walton, whose father was a B-24 crewman, emailed me about this outstanding B-24 tribute on Youtube. I checked it out. It is outstanding. Watch it by clicking here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_0GnJ9T2Fc

If this incredibly powerful video does not choke you up, nothing will.

These were brave men.

Listen to Author Marilyn Walton's Interview about Rhapsoday in Junk

A PBS station in Ohio recently interviewed my friend and fellow author Marilyn Walton about her excellent book 'Rhapsody in Junk'. Please see the archive for my review of this book, which I highly recommend.

To listen to the interview, click on this link, find Rhapsody in Junk, and click on the segments of the interview one at a time. http://www.wmub.org/forum/

Author of 'Rhapsody in Junk' on radio this morning

I just received word that my friend and colleague Marilyn Walton, author of 'Rhapsody in Junk', (see my previous story on the book at this link: http://untoldvalor.blogspot.com/2007/07/daughters-love-fathers-service.html ) is giving an interview on a Cincinnatti radio station in roughly an hour. I know that's short notice for most readers, but hopefully a few will be able to listen. Marilyn's dad flew on a B-24 and was shot down, becoming a POW. Her extensively researched and intensely personal book is the result of years of work, a real labor of love on her part and a fine tribute to her late father.

Marilyn writes:
I am being interviewed on Cincinnati radio this afternoon. If you are bored and not doing anything, you can listen to the interview on. http://www.wmkvfm.org/ at 1-1:30.
Since this is easy to do, all the Germans I met are listening! Boy, my dad would have gotten a kick out of that!

The link doesn't appear to be hyperlinked. However, when I cut and pasted it into the address box, it popped up fine for me.

That's one o'clock Eastern Time, noon central, eleven Mountain, and ten Pacific.

Give Marilyn a listen. It's sure to be interesting!
