It’s probably somewhat different than the norm.  Maybe you’ll read it and think this is appropriate for today; […]

Guadalcanal – The Marines at Edson’s Ridge

  It’s Friday and it’s raining polar bears outside my window, and we’re all a little bit bored. I found this while looking through old revived WWII film: another film from the archives.

Christmas ideas.
