“Friends, Family, and Viewers Like You, Filmmaker Ken Burns (The Civil War, Baseball, Jazz) has produced a 14.5-hour major documentary that documents the heroic actions and experiences of U.S. Serviceman during World War 2.
The series will air on PBS during September and October - National Hispanic Heritage Month.
What Mr. Burns did not include in his production, was any mention of the over 500,000 Latinos - Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexican Nationals, Spanish Americans, and Latinos from other Latin American countries - who served the United States in this war proudly and heroically. “
