Devotion

The Korean War in a nutshell is considered an extension of WWII. After a five year peace period that started when WWII ended in August of 1955, the Chinese Communist Party had begun to infiltrate other Asian countries. America was in a floundering state with the U.S.S.R. and the cold war that had been created between the two polar opposite societies. However, the Communist threat spread rapidly and America (for all its good intentions to remain neutral) knew it couldn't remain silent for long. 

 

No war should be forgotten or even called forgotten, because to do so would simply be disregarding the duty and sacrifice of the men who were there. Men like Ensign Jesse Brown and Lieutenant Tom Hudner.

Joan of Arc (1999 mini-series)

 

I know I haven't mentioned it a great deal here, but I've always loved Saint Joan of Arc. I mean what girl wouldn't admire her! For centuries Joan of Arc has been immortalized through every possible art medium, from 15th century drawings to feature length films. She is often portrayed as either an ethereal saint or as a noble warrior. This 1999 mini-series is one of the most beautiful and thought provoking movies that tells the full life story of the beloved Saint Joan of Arc.
