Not in the Pacific but also worth watching and sometimes overlooked:

The Dam Busters, A Bridge Too Far, The Heroes of Telemark, Sink The Bismarck

They enjoyed themselves and learned about Pearl Harbor,  Wake Island, Bataan, 30 Seconds over Tokyo, Midway....etc, etc...








That's a great idea Ed. My biggest problem with WWII was the chronology of the war.
I wonder, if you were showing them "Enemy at the Gates", would you take an intermission half way through the movie to show them "Tora, Tora, Tora"?    Big Grin
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
