During the harsh winter of Christmas 1953, Edward R. Murrow visited the front line U.S. troops and produced this nearly 30-minute documentary clip.  Quite a blast from the past, considering what Christmas has turned into now.

    I was checking out various sites on my computer. Came across Edward R. Murrow. I became interested because I was a member of a patrol that came back early christmas morning. The See it now crew was there waiting for us. It was quite an experience. The only bad thing was that we could not see it or get word back to our families in time.

    So now I can view it all most 60 years later. Better late then never.
