The trailer looks good, I will see this one.
Thanks for that, JJT. I look forward to it.
There's a White Cross Tonight on Okinawa
Under skies of blue worldly cares are through
High above waves the old Star-Spangled Banner
In his mem-o-ry she'll be true
Some mother's heart knows full sorrow
Silently her prayers cross the foam
There's a White Cross Tonight on Okinawa
And a gold star in some mother's home
"More mental health issues arose from the Battle of Okinawa than any other battle in the Pacific during World War II."
My favorite Conscientious Objector / Medal of Honor movie will probably always be Sergeant York with Gary Cooper,
