“This is a superb dramatization of the American military cemeteries abroad. It helps us remember the great sacrifices that young Americans made in defense of the nation.”

- Sen. George S. McGovern 

 

"I have viewed the film and think it is a superb effort for a very worthy cause."

- Admiral B.R. Inman , U.S. Navy, (Ret.)

 

“Your documentary will complement our own efforts, providing PBS viewers with the historical context for understanding why our overseas cemeteries were established, and how and why those honored within them died, and the values and principles for which they died...the honor you will bring to America’s War Dead buried and memorialized overseas by sharing their stories with the American people is a noble and worthy accomplishment.”

 - Brigadier General William J. Leszczynski, U. S. Army, (Ret.)  The American Battle Monuments Commission
