'Now You Do Know'

'Now You Know' pretty much sums up the content of this book and the epic motion picture that inspired it. Every page is a human story, a story of everyday people changed by the unspeakable horror of war. One cannot help but be moved by the sheer honesty of the reactions evoked by this film. With the royalties going to the National D-Day Museum let us hope that the messages of this film and book continue to be remembered, for the sake of our future, and for the people who gave their lives for our freedom...

For anyone who saw and loved the movie

"Now You Know" is a first rate little hard-bound book concerning viewers' reactions to the movie "Saving Private Ryan." It is clearly a labor of love and all profits are being donated to the National D-Day Museum. Anyone who saw the movie and loved it as I did will want this book. The viewers' express their observations with heart-felt emotion and insight. It would be rare to find something like this anywhere else.

Thank You

On June 6, 2000, The National D-Day Museum will open its doors in New Orleans, LA. It will be the only Museum in the U.S. dedicated to telling the stories of the amphibious invasions or "D-Days" of World War II. The royalties and earnings frm Now You Know are going to be dedicated to this MuseumThe stories told in Now You Know will be mirrored in the Museum. Ordinary People who did the extraordinary. They came not to conquer, but to liberate, not to loot or destroy but to bring life and freedom.Now You Know has helped me realize the debt that we owe that generation...a debt they never tried to collect. It has also helped me realize the opportunity I lost when my father died. A chance to say thanks.Thanks.

A wonderful and moving collection.

I was happy to read this book. The letters from the people who were touched by this incredible movie just made me want to go out and hug an old veteren. It takes place where the movie left off...with the emotions of those at home. It tells many stories and shows many ways as to why this was a very important film.

I am very happy that AOL has allowed the publication of this book. This movie has brought the feelings of many people out, including my younger generation. It was great to see many responses in the book written by the youth, for it is in the youth that we can really change the future. I am proud to be in the book, and I hope that it gets some people thinking about how much was given to us by the men and women who fought in WWII.
