The episode that stands out in my mind from this show is the episode where one of the characters comforts a soldier who only has a few moments left to live, after being burned alive. He is blinded and asks the character if she will stay with him.
Very sad!

There is also a similar scene in the pilot or second episode where Laurette sings to the burned soldier.
shareI remember the burned soldier describing his "ideal woman" to Laurette (whom he couldn't see,) and telling her he had a photo of that woman. Laurette choked up when she saw it was a photo of herself performing in a USO show.
shareI also remember another profound episode with McMurphy sitting vigil with a badly wounded soldier who was wearing "pressure" type bags to keep him from bleeding to death. But it wouldn't last and McMurphy knew it. It showed the night she sat with him and the time they had to let him go. Very poignant. This series did a good job of showing the carnage of war, and the humanity that still existed. Wonderful series and superbly acted, written, directed and photographed. I ordered the series this week and should get it mid April. Can't wait. I'm glad more people can see this series which was so respectful and caring about the soldiers stories. And the people who were there for them. Wonderful, spread the word.
