Comment on HBO Miniseries – The Pacific by Jeff Hohman

Hello,

Because of the growing interest in HBO’s The Pacific, I thought you might be interest in the following.

Kenwood Productions’ award-winning documentary film, Peleliu 1944: Horror in the Pacific, is being released in DVD (produced in 1991, it has been long unavailable). Against a backdrop of rare archival film footage and photographs, the story of the Battle of Peleliu is told as never before by E. B. Sledge (author of With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa and featured in Ken Burns’ film The War, seen on PBS, and the upcoming HBO mini-series The Pacific), Bill Leyden, R. V. Burgin, and Jay de l’Eau (who are also characterized in The Pacific.) HBO licensed portions of Kenwoods’ exclusive Eugene Sledge interview to support their production of the The Pacific.

Peleliu 1944: Horror in the Pacific tells the true story of the men of Company K, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment and the ferocious Battle of Peleliu, “an island on fire.” In conditions that tested the sanity of each man, 9,000 Marines attacked 10,000 battle-hardened Japanese soldiers dug into hundreds of fortified and reinforced coral and limestone caves. Twenty-eight days of unrelenting battle with no quarter asked or given.

The Battle of Peleliu is as harrowing as any in the history of modern warfare. A battle of total annihilation fought in inhuman conditions.

To see film clips and get more information on this, and other Kenwood Productions’ films, go to http://www.americanherofilm.com.

After viewing the clips, we hope you’ll agree with the viewers who said the film “should be required viewing by every veteran or enthusiast” and “hearing the veterans speak and tell their stories was so powerful, it was all woven together with excellent narration and footage. Just hearing Eugene Sledge tell his stories is priceless.” Historian Paul Fussel wrote “One of the cassettes [of Peleliu 1944] I’m donating to the Imperial War Museum here so that the British will have some idea of the costs of the Pacific war. The other I’ll treasure forever, and with thanks always to you and to Gene Sledge.”

Thank you.

Comment on 2008 Obsidian SG-One Ford Mustang for 1.3 million dollars by Ford Mustang

You can have a lot better Mustang built for a lot less money. As a matter of fact, I’ll build you a better car for less!

Take the twin supercharger setup. They set so high up on the engine,that you end up with the ugly hood scoop. That could have been done better.

It’s a hot rod, but for the price you should have a lot more refinement

I have tried this stuff and absolutely loved it. Was drinking with lime as a shooter but mates were drinking it with Coke and it went down a storm. Bought it from a local store.. It does taste really different to anything else I have drunk.

Comment on Black Label 100th Anniversary Bottle by Cynthia Marino

Cynthia Marino — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:12:38 +0000

I received the glass which I thought was going to be etched with the anniversary info on it and it only had the striding man and I still haven’t been able to purchase a 100th year bottle of Black Label. I’ve tried several state liquor stores in PA and they don’t even have it in their computer systems.

Does anyone know if there were only a limited amount of states receiving this?

Thanks,
Cindy
