Well, it's finally come to fruition! I have given the publisher the "thumbs-up" for Part One of the documentary (two-disk set). Disk one covers training in the states and disk two covers the Invasion of North Africa. I am so excited and can hardly believe the day is here.

The completed three-part series will be an in-depth presentation, six-hours in length. It will encapsulate the combat engineers' footsteps from training in the states in '41 and '42, through war's end in Germany and Austria.

I am narrating the presentation, with various talents playing the roles of the veterans. The work will include photographs from the men themselves, diaries, biographies and autobiographies, archived film footage, and will feature audio & video interviews of the veterans, and historians from the Army Corps of Engineers - Office of History. It is my goal to produce a well-balanced documentary, by including a wealth of sources and various forms of media.

This entire project is being funded by the private sector, including veterans, and their family members and friends. I would like to take this time to thank you for your kindness and generosity, for without your assistance, this project simply would not be possible. I am also looking for corporate sponsorship and hope by offering previews via my web site, I will be able to generate interest amongst small and large businesses alike.

In order to facilitate this, I've started a new company, Proud Daughter, LLC , which will handle all the aspects of funding and production. It will also allow me to consider and pursue future projects including articles, books and documentaries.
