Review of WW-I and Armistice Day

As the other reviewers have said, the recordings of: period music, General Pershing and the interview with the WWI veteran give this story added impact. Vivid images, lasting voices.

I was struck by how this story honors the sacrifices made by US veterans without glorifying war. A good cutaway piece for PD's looking to add another perspective on a holiday that's taken on more importance in a post September 11th, Iraq War world.
