I agree this is a great DVD set, excellent story. They obviously put post-production money in all the right places. This is one of the few war movies I've seen that really get the sound of the weapons right- especially the mortars. I watched this after a year in Iraq and the first mortar round that landed had my heart rate up.
If you like the story I would strongly recommend you pick up the book by Stephen Ambrose. They based the mini-series off the book, but went back and did additional research and interviews to flesh out some pieces of the story.
My kids will watch this and read the book when they get old enough.
