I checked this DVD out from our Library to view in preparation for a Panama Canal Cruise. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased a copy to watch again and to loan to family!

My uncle was one of the physicians working with Walter Reed, MD, on the Panama Canal. This DVD helped bring his memories to life and to make his contributions to medicine even more substancial. I only wish he had been mentioned by name. A great story told with great pictures and comentary.
