I'm a history nut. I embrace anything having to do with the 1930's and 1940's and have my family to thank for it. Military movie? I've likely seen it or should have! Love the Andrews Sisters, Helen Forest and Artie Shaw and wilt knowing most of my peers haven't a clue who they are. I love hearing stories, watching documentaries and finding out little "factoids" of military history. I'm hopeful that chivalry still exists and belive it comes in many forms. Whether it's taking the time to listen to an old man talk about his time "over there," holding the door open for another person, or taking in the importance of an old, tattered photo that comes your way. I love photography and screenwriting, books on CD and going to military surplus stores to remember my time at OCS. I cry watching a documentary more often than a sappy love story (but still love both!) History Channel, TCM and Sci Fi Channel are my loves.
