Need help finding a broadcast

[kgro]

I forget the exact title of the broadcast. It was titled 7 September or something similar. It was a tribute to soldiers killed in ww2. Very moving. I'd like to see if I can find a recording or transscript of it. Any help would be appreciated.
Please e-mail me at kgroves@opf.com. Thanks!

kgro,
You may be thinking of "Fourteen August", a 15-minute program written by Norman Corwin, narrated by Welles, and broadcast Aug. 14th 1945. This program was also presented a few days later in an expanded version called "God and Uranium Were on Our Side", featuring narration by Welles and Olivia DeHavilland.

That's it. Thank you very much. I'm going to try to hunt it down.

There was also an episode of Almanac about the D-Day invasion, with Aggie Moorhead's character writing a letter to her unborn son, whose father was overseas. She describes how the factories and restaurants ground to a halt, people couldn't sleep, they were just glued to their radios waiting for news. A chilling and superb broadcast, totally out of character for an otherwise campy and comedic series. I can find the broadcast date if anyone is interested.
