Some seriuos hard-hitting storytelling in this feature, but also quite a few relective moments. It's unbelievable acutally...the events that have happened to Bill Schiebler in his lifetime. Seems almost like a Hollywood script.

The fact that Schiebler is alive today is indeed a "miracle". One of four men still alive from his original unit of 186, 4 purple hearts, wounded 10 times

This piece is a slam dunk for Veterans Day programming. Schiebler treats the material with amazing sensitivity and tenderness. I particularly admire the way he is able to take these stories from combat and use them as testement of why people should among other things love their fellow man, forgive ones enemies and respect all races. My only suggestion would be to make the whole thing a bit more sound rich. Particularly with the live tape of Schiebler coming under friendly fire!!! What an surreal audio nugget...it should have rolled much longer.
