My father was in WWII and I read a lot about that era. From all I can tell this is a daily actual presentation. Sad that some of the town folks of Waterloo let jealousy and negative feeling take away from what the Sullivans' lost. Still right did prevail. Heavy on military lingo but needed I felt to get the whole picture.
