Watch “The War Stories” online

Tue, September 11, 2007

Local PBS stations across the country are preparing for the release of THE WAR later this month.

For example, here at KAKM we’re broadcasting a series of testimonials honoring the service of family and friends in World War II.

Meanwhile, PBS affiliate WITF in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania has posted another series of brief videos — The War Stories — as part of their own remembrance of the many lives touched by World War II, whether on the battlefield or the homefront.

Highlights include war veterans, a holocaust survivor, a real life “Rosie the Riveter” and more.
