    • Quotes

      Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] The second World War changed forever the course of our country and its people. Some of those changes were immediately clear; others gradually seeped into our lives and left lasting, sometimes painful impressions. The whole world was in a great hurry and its frantic pace was most often reflected in the young men returning from battle.
