This is a great gift for someone who loves history and learning about their heritage. Make this gift even better by sitting and watching this with them! Pop some popcorn and sit down and enjoy this DVD as a family. Listen to the grandparents reminisce, teach the kids something about their lineage and learn something yourself…this is a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday and it …read more
