Sorry, no music from The Patriot. That musical score didn’t really strike me. But on the subject of John Williams music, here’s part of the Academy Award nominated score from Amistad.
Dry Your Tears, Afrika
Crossing the Atlantic
Cinque’s Theme
Cinque’s Memories of Home
Middle Passage
The Long Road to Justice
Adam’s Summation
Going Home
Enjoy!

Gambone’s introduction gave a nice recap and memory refresher of American military service and veterans pre-WWII. However, something about Severo and Milford’s chapter rubbed me the wrong way.

Rhonda Cornum joined the Army in 1978 and was in the Persian Gulf War. Her grandfather, who was a marine during WWII, influenced her.

I like being able to listen to the women speak about their experiences. It provides the listener with a more personal connection to the veteran. You get a sense of the kind of person they are, especially their sense of humor.
Violet Hill Gordon was an African American (very interesting!) in the WAAC (Women’s Army Auxiliary […]
