It is hard to imagine not being awed by the achievements of these solidiers. As a Brit, I am not loyal to the US army but these people did things that protected many areas of the world and rightly or wrongly, these soildiers took massive risks in order to fulfil their duty.
The production quality is good and the recreations are not done on the cheap even though they cannot, of course, do a "Saving private Ryan" for each episode.
It is also nice that they finish each episode with the legacy of these people, some who died in combat and others who survived.
Get your tissues though, it is very moving!
