Description: **This is an EX-LIBRARY COPY, with all the usual library markings. See photos for more details.** This 2004 release from PBS tells the story of the national World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. This disc is an ex-library copy in good condition and plays perfectly, with the following write-up on back: THE WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL A TESTAMENT TO FREEDOM connects the process of erecting the National World War II Memorial in Washington, DC, with the stories of the people who experienced and lived through the devastating war. The documentary follows the process of creating the new memorial, from the sculptors' studios and the stone quarries, to the bronze foundries and the construction site on the Mall. It features interviews with the artists, craftsmen, public officials and others who wrestled over the designs, plans, and locations of the new memorial. The program features the remarkable war experiences of ordinary civilians, soldiers, sailors, and air men, as well as those of numerous famous veterans entertainers Tony Curtis, James Arness, and Ed McMahon, senators Bob Dole, Daniel Inouye, and George McGovern, baseball stars Warren Spahn and Yogi Berra; and pilots Chuck Yeager and Paul Tibbets. The memorial, and the documentary, gives recognition to the Americans who endured the hardships and challenges of the war and helps assure that future generations will not forget the character, sacri fices, and values of those who came before them.
