THE THE YANKS YANKS IN IN IRELAND IRELAND
IRELAND
Music, myth, and memory mix as one of
the last great untold World War II stories
unfolds against an Irish landscape. Three
hundred thousand American servicemen
and women served in Northern Ireland
from 1942 to 1945.
Soldiers trained for the invasion of North
Africa and Normandy, sailors fought the
Battle of the Atlantic and U.S. airmen flew
coastal patrols from Northern Ireland ports
and bases. History has forgotten much of
this, but the people still remember. And
now GIs themselves return to Northern
Ireland to complete the tale.
Introduced by Walter Cronkite, who was
himself a "Yank in Ireland," the program
follows World War II veterans back to their
"Home Away From Home." Secrets are
revealed and old loves renewed in these
moving stories. Rare photographs and
archival film help tell the stories.

BEACONS
In a land whose roots are so entangled
with myths and legends of the past, it is no
surprise that Ireland's lighthouses, located
in some of the most unspoiled and
picturesque places of that beautiful isle,
are surrounded by tales of danger,
heroism, romance, and mystery.
The lighthouses whose stories are told
here include FASTNET in County Cork,
which was called The Teardrop of Ireland
because during the days of emigration for
many it would be their last sight of Ireland;
the MAIDENS, a pair of lighthouses, home
to a Romeo and Juliet style love story; the
SKELLIG ISLANDS, occupied by an
ancient monastery built on the edge of the
cliffs high above the treacherous sea.
IRISH LIGHTHOUSES presents the
terrible conditions, unrelenting storms,
daring keepers, mythology and
superstitions surrounding these lonely
bastions.
