War is a destructive, bleak picture that can make the skies of any canvas gray.
For the picture to brighten it takes the heroism of a few ordinary men who look into the face of death, take on the challenges that break most men and overcome what is thought to be impossible. The war took place in Korea. The mission was to protect the freedom of a country. The tale is of one man's bravery and defiance of death to help democracy prevail. Hiroshi H. Miyamura, a Japanese American, survived the bullets and bloodshed of the battlefield only to brave 28 months as a prisoner of war.
