I recently bought The League of Grateful Sons, Hope Heroes Generations DVD. It is powerful documentary of the World War Battle for Iwo Jima. This documentary is in stark contrast to such so-called documentaries being peddled as truth such as Michael Moore’s fictitious Fahrenheit 911 or Algore’s intelligence-insulting Inconvenient Truth, which are more fiction than fact in content.
The League of Grateful Sons chronicles the beauty, example and relevance of fatherhood, manhood, valor, courage, hope, honor and respect of the men of the Great Generation. It is the story of American values and principles for which our fathers and grandfathers, who were willing to give their all. It weaves wonderful and poignant stories of several veterans’ life stories. It revolves around the 60th anniversary event of the Battle for Iwo Jima, a reunion of many of the remaining men who stormed and fought on the beaches in this blood D-day invasion. It is a most pivotal confrontation in the War.
The movie urges all Americans not to forget what these brave men and especially the 400,000 plus men who gave the ultimate sacrifice in World War II – their lives – so that we can be free. The movie encourages sons to learn and to listen to their fathers, especially to those still alive. It encourages us to pass down to the next generation their morals and their love for our nation.
That is why what I discussed in the last two articles is so distasteful – seeing people wanting to expunge God and the values and principles upon which our country was founded - from America. It sickens me when I see bureaucrats, or academics or politicians or other leftist and socialist-minded going out of their way to revise and reinvent history. They apparently have no clue as to the blood, sweat and tears which were shed for them by men like those who fought and died in World War II as well as our other patriot predecessors.
We are entering the Thanksgiving season, this is a wonderful movie to watch with our fathers and our families. You cannot help but better understand, appreciate and have your inner beings filled with gratitude for past sacrifices made for us. This Thanksgiving season let us not take for granted what has been so lavished upon us by God through these great Americans . . .
REVIEWS
"The League of Grateful Sons" does not claim that all those who gave their lives were honorable men. Yet, this courageous God-fearing generation "went to war to protect women … their mothers … their families … their sweethearts, their homes. . . Let the "Telling" of their commitment to "personal responsibility, duty, honor and faith … the ethos of their family and community," help revive the moral values of our World War II generation. "” --- Judy Reisman, WorldNetDaily.com
“Each day, more than 1,000 WWII veterans die. We have little time left to hear their stories and say “thank you.” The League of Grateful Sons honors the testimony of these great men. This powerful, new film will leave you grateful for America’s WWII fathers and inspired to surpass their legacy.” --- AFA OnLine
“This documentary thank you to the heroes of WWII chronicles the 2005 trip of a group dubbed "The League of Grateful Sons," who traveled to Iwo Jima to walk in the footsteps of their fathers, grandfathers, greatgrandfathers, and role models of the best of godly manhood . . .” Amazon.com reviewer
RATING
I unhesitatingly give this movie a ***** of *****. I recommend this movie. It would make an ideal Thanksgiving or Christmas gift.

I could not find it in my local library or movie rental store; it is too good for them apparently. For $20 you can own this important documentary. You can purchase this movie on LeagueofGratefulSons.com website or you can visit American Family Association AFA OnLine. It is an excellent movie for anyone interested in history or in the American culture.
