    While I remember and honour with pride our country's fallen on this day for their sacrifices, the pain and suffering in war is universal to all soldiers of all counties. There is sadness on this day also.

    Yes. it will be worth seeing when done. Funny how colourizing and adding sound/speech makes it seem more real/relevant today. It's no longer your grand dad's war.
