A Bridge Too Far", a 1977 epic that is, perhaps, my favorite and most accurate war movie. Filmed on location in Holland where all the action took place in World War II, "Operation Market Garden" was the largest airborne operation in the history of war, with 34,600 men and 1,700 vehicles dropped from the skies by glider or parachute. Less remembered than "D-Day" because we lost. Trying to take one more bridge and failing, it was "a bridge too far".

It's pretty much a miracle that any of us older folks survived childhood! Parents exposed kids to secondhand smoke and let them run wild in the streets. Sugar was in everything and hazards lurked everywhere. Given today's hands-on style of parenting, it's hard to believe some of the things that were ''normal'' for kids in the old days.
