If you want an interesting take on D-Day and "In Flander's Fields," on Youtube, there is posted "What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown?" It is a sequel to their movie where they go to France as exchange students and they tour Omaha Beach and Flander's fields. Linus does a lot of explaining and pondering on D-Day as well as reciting "In Flander's Fields." It really raises the hair on my neck and I get tears in my eyes everytime I see it or even think about it. I would say, "well done by the Peanuts Gang." There were amusing moments too like Snoopy driving the 2CV car and Charlie Brown always having to crank it to start it, usually tripping over himself or getting banged up while Peppermint Patty picks on him. I think the latter is a little out of character but this is an excellent explaination and reflection in 30 minutes time.
