(out of 5)

Here at Upcomingdiscs we’re getting in the spirit of Memorial Day by watching China Beach on DVD.

We’ll have a review coming soon. It’s a pretty solid way to remember the men and woman who served this country in Vietnam. The series is very much a tribute particularly to the women who volunteered not to take lives, but to try to save them. The series featured quite a few young actors who have gone on to pretty big things. They include Dana Delany from Desperate Housewives, Robert Picardo from Star Trek: Voyager, Marg Helgenberger from CSI, Michael Boatman from Arli$$/Spin City and Jeff Kober.

Time Life finally releases the entire series in a wonderful collection of 21 DVD’s, loaded with tons of extras.

A full review will be on the way at week’s end.
