Reflections of Filming: Part 1

4 weeks of preparation, 12 hours of shooting, with a cast and crew of 25 people, all working together to tell a story that will last only 60 seconds. But within those 60 seconds, is a tale that spans generations of America's bravest men and women.It is the story of these men and women, who day in and day out, sacrifice their lives to make this world a better place. Over the next several minutes, you will get an inside look into the production of "Reflections of Freedom," our tribute to America's armed forces. So sit back, relax, and enjoy "Reflections of Filming."

please think long and hard about war, your film is borderline propaganda for a military whose actions have not positively effected the world since WWII, On top of that this glorification of what war i saying that there is some sort of nobility to it the gross know multiple vets of the Golf war and the Vietnam war myself they agree that war is nothing like your partial mainly that there is not valor in war. NOW QUICK CALL ME A COMMY BASTER WHO HATES THE TROOPS

@RaymondSylvestre You have a very good point, but my intent was never to make propaganda. I'm sorry if the movie is taken that way. I did not mean to glorify war, as war is not something that should ever be glorified. Thank you for watching the video, and I'm sorry if it offended you in anyway. Though I do not think that the video is propaganda, I thank you for raising the issue of the power that films can have over people. Its something that I def need to keep in mind.
