By no means is this your "boring documentary". I have seen the series several times, and I still learn new things, and I still moved everytime, at the strength of our country and the tremendous blessing it is to live here.

• Brings History to life
  My teacher showed this video in class and everyone in class enjoyed it immensly. I can't wait to watch it again. A great keepsake.
