Synopsis
Hosted by John Wayne (in 1978), this film presents definitions of patriotism by US citizens, members of our Armed Forces and returning Vietnam POWs. The voices of Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John Kennedy express reasons why American Service members fought and died for their country through the years.
