A standing room crowd watched the first hour-long preview of Ken Burns’ important, new documentary, “The War,” Tuesday at the Circle Cinema Theatre in Tulsa. Several veterans attended the pre-screening event and they seemed to appreciate the approach used by Burns to tell the story of the “greatest generation” at home and in the theaters of war. The film presents the horrors and heartbreak of war in the riveting and personal style that has made Burns America’s most prominent producer of historical documentaries.
Following the screening, OETA’s Dick Pryor moderated a panel discussion with WWII veteran Kenneth Renberg, a German who trained American troops and fought with the 45th Infantry Division; Dr. Brad Agnew, Professor of History at Northeastern State University and an expert on military history; and Eva Unterman, a survivor of the holocaust who spent most of the war in Nazi concentration camps. OETA’s Lori Holliday showed the dynamic, new Oklahoma World War II Stories website (including this blog) and encouraged everyone attending to participate in the story collection project using the website’s “Share a Story” module. To-date, more than 700 people have shared a story - an overwhelming response!
Special thanks to Clark Wiens and Amberla Tepe of the Circle Cinema Theatre for hosting such a great event to begin the march toward “The War.” Ken Burns’ 15-hour epic, “The War,” debuts Sunday night at 7:00 on OETA.

Thanks for the concepts you have discussed here. On top of that, I believe there are some factors which will keep your car insurance premium straight down. One is, to consider buying cars and trucks that are within the good list of car insurance businesses. Cars that happen to be expensive are usually more at risk of being snatched. Aside from that insurance policies are also depending on the value of the car, so the costlier it is, then higher the actual premium you pay.

Unfortunately, our bureaucrats give the politicians the information they want them to have to make the decision they have already made. The politicians are elected and paid to do all the research behind the staff recommendations. This has not happened with this P3 water referendum, along with many other issues. Ideas are only as good as implementation and I believe that is where Henry would be invaluable at the council table.
