American veteran / directors, Leah Williams, Stephen Ives; written by Stephen Ives & Gene Tempest; producers, Amamda Pollak, Leah Williams; a production of Insignia Films for GBH Boston.
Today, America has nearly eighteen million living military veterans, from the Greatest Generation to men and women coming home from recent tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. They join the now-silent ranks of American veterans reaching back to our earliest conflict, the Revolutionary War. The military is part of America's founding story - a project to which, as George Washington put it, every citizen owed "his personal services." In war and in peace, what veterans have done in America's name and how they have been treated when they return is woven into the fabric of the American story and has had a profound impact on our nation. This four-part film illuminates the veteran experience with a moving range of voices from today and across the arc of American history and is narrated by veterans Drew Carey, Senator Tammy Duckworth, Wes Studi and J.R. Martinez.
