PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The war years are vividly captured in this deluxe and handsomely packaged collector's album that is sure to be a cherished keepsake.
Personal Journeys of World War II - World War II Navy Veteran and actor Glenn Ford hosts this powerful 50th Anniversary program, now available on DVD for the first time. Here are the faces, the voices, and the memories of those who served their country overseas, and those who contributed to the war effort at home. Many are no longer with us, but their personal journeys are preserved in this very special program. Priceless archival, newsreel, and combat footage enhance their remembrances.
Two Bonus Programs:
Program 1: The Four Army Chaplains - This is the inspiring true story of a Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbi, and two Protestant ministers, who sacrificed their own lives so that hundreds of soldiers could live when the Europe-bound troop ship on which they were sailing in 1943 came under attack.
Program 2: Going For Broke - They believed in America when America no longer believed in them. This is the untold story of Japanese-American soldiers who heroically overcame vicious racial hatred, loss of constitutional rights, and forced imprisonment of their people to valiantly fight fortheir country.
