I'm going to buck the trend here, and say...I appreciate this more than Band of Brothers. I think Pacific is doing a good job illuminating the difference between the European Theater from the Pacific Theater. I own, and enjoy BoB very much. But I enjoy the way the story is constructed in Pacific...
Hey guys, I just posted a new entry on my blog about my first and truest jacket love - my Real McCoy's NZ M-422a. It holds a special place in my heart as the jacket that opened the door to the insanity of flight jackets and denim. Ah... :)
