      "A film shot through with the most emotional of themes that succeeds in rendering portraits of unimaginable heroism with discipline and dignity." WALL STREET JOURNAL "An astounding array of stories about an unbelievable collection of unexpected heroes." NEW YORK POST "A story of humanity at its best. Alfre Woodard narrates the deeply moving documentary that expertly matches gut-wrenching footage of war to the veterans' stories." TRIBUNE MEDIA "An antidote for spiritual cynicism... remind[S] us why so many continue to believe in American exceptionalism. TAMPA TRIBUNE "Yes, there's a lot of junk on TV. But the medium can also rise to the occasion quite beautifully. The richly drawn stories will stay with you for a long time after you turn off the set." MSNBC

      This is an amazing documentary. Beautifully shot and completely engrossing. If you are interested in the history of our country or just amazing stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things - you must see this film.
