Great Greatest Good

My Dad grew up in Northern Idaho and the Pacific NW and was in the CCC's and worked for the Forest Service as a young man and then went on to become a Marine and served in the Pacific during WW-2. My childhood was filled with stories of these years and the life my Dad and my Grandparents lived in the years before WW-2. When I watched and then read The Greatest Good with my now 89-year-old father it was just tremendous for us both. I would recommend this to anyone interested in our Nation's History.
