A Truly Wonderful Documentary

[A] truly wonderful documentary.... After watching it, my heart was moved so much within the next two weeks I started interviewing WWII vets (one of whom gave me his entire war journal) and will interview more for a article in our local paper.— Austin C.

Simply Incredible

The League of Grateful Sons... is the most incredible thing I have ever seen. Thank you so much for researching and making this wonderful documentary possible. I’m a son of a WWII veteran. My father was stationed in New Jersey watching for German planes. Near the end of the war, he then went to Germany. I’m the choir director at my church, and we’re planning a patriotic musical in the local high school auditorium on July 2. The purpose is to thank military people — past and present — and their families. I’m working on how I might be able to use a small clip from “Sons” in the musical... Thanks again for the work you’ve done and will be doing. God bless you for it!— Jim M., First Baptist Church, Michigan

May Prove to Be a Christian Classic

Wonderfully done... may prove to be a modern Christian classic. —Lt. Col. E. Ray Moore (Ret.)
