:05:09. > :05:13.people were very talented, but they did not know about World War I. One
:05:14. > :05:18.of them thought that it was only 37 days long. It is important that
:05:19. > :05:25.everyone remembers it. What were the biggest challenges?
:05:26. > :05:32.Writing a good song that is worthy of the occasion.
