A truly important film

Rating: Null/10 (9 September 2004)

This film is a must-see for every young person in this country. As adults, we would be shirking our duties in raising these young people if we failed to place before them images like those in this film. The fact that this nation was built on the backs of and with the blood of countless men and women of all colors cannot be overstressed. This is a chapter of our nation's history that must be remembered and honored, right alongside those of the D-Day Invasion at Normandy and September 11th. These men stood bravely and died fighting for a nation that spat upon them. They stood and fought because they saw within that nation a promise and a hope of a better place, a place that loved them as they loved it. Because of their sacrifices in the midst of unimaginably harsh conditions, and the sacrifices of so many others, we now live freely. If you don't own this film, buy it. If you haven't seen it, make it a priority. Show it to your kids and tell them to remember.
