"It feels like a family reunion, being with people who've had such a common experience," museum docent and former IBM worker Carol Pogust said. "When you're together at IBM, you're sharing stressful times, happy times, sad times, and that's why they become like family."
"Bring the pride back to the community," reunion coordinator and former IBM employee Jamies Little said. "IBM has a rich history, everything they've accomplished, how they changed the world. I think it's very inspiring to entrepreneurs. I want to help expand on that. A lot of time through inspired history, you can do that."

A case could probably be made that the comic-strip violence of The Rat Patrol violated in some way the sensibilities of the viewing audience who had real-life wars to worry about each night. But I think perhaps The Rat Patrol's relative innocence (no blood, no major characters getting killed, no grinding boredom often associated with military life, and impossibly perfect commando raids, always flawlessly executed) didn't offend viewers so much as it eventually bored them. Each individual episode of The Rat Patrol is more than competently produced and directed, and they're enjoyable, too; it's rather like reading a Sgt. Rock comic book - but without the social commentary. However, there's so little lateral movement for the characters or for the situations in The Rat Patrol that eventually, they all tend to blend together. Christopher George, a talented actor who had to be used very carefully to make him stand out (he never got the big break that put him past the recognizable "B" list), has so little to do here that his disconnect with the various shenanigans is obvious. As for Eric Braeden, this was the first big break for the naturalized actor from Germany (stardom would eventually come from his role on a network soap), and he's quite good in what was already a pretty familiar character by this point in WWII feature films: the tough, efficient, but essentially fair-minded professional German soldier. While Braeden is fine in the role, the role itself is no more original nor any more interesting than the familiar little battles that litter The Rat Patrol episodes. So it's a tough call for The Rat Patrol: The Complete Series: the total effect is much less than the sum of its competent parts.
Nearly 500 survivors from across the nation were expected to make the trip to Hawaii, bringing with them 1,300 family members, numerous wheelchairs and too many haunting memories: memories of a shocking, two-hour aerial raid that destroyed or heavily damaged 21 ships and 320 aircraft, that killed 2,390 people and wounded 1,178 others, that plunged the United States into World War II and set in motion the events that led to atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 2ff7e9595c
