Once again it was a memorable program to watch.
Sadly, Charles Durning isn't as deeply involved in the concert by hosting it. He made a brief appearance. He doesn't look like he's fairing very well. He was a Ranger who landed at Normandy, fought across France, fought at the Battle of the Bulge until captured and luckily escaped the Malmedy Massacre.
The program will never be the same without Ossie Davis being the MC.
As usual they had a tear jerking moment when they presented the life and death struggle of two members of the 173rd Abn Bde and their families.

On this day in 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono began an eight-day 'bed in', in room 1742 of The Hotel La Reine Elizabeth, Montreal, Canada, to promote world peace. The promotion failed. It is impossible to promote "world peace" by staging a "bed-in" while being "in bed" with the communists, socialists, liberals, fascist and the rest of the radically insane groups who want to rule the world.
