Veterans from the Virgin Islands faced unique challenges as they left a small, predominantly African Caribbean American community to join the segregated armed forces of the United States. The surviving group of veterans provided a rich source of historical and social perspectives. The result of over 30 interviews, this 56-minute documentary produced for American Legion in the US Virgin Islands, provides insight into the lives and experiences of these veterans: their motivation for serving in the armed forces, their experiences with racism, their contributions and the effects of their service on their lives.

In 1942, the British Chief of Combined Operations, Louis Mountbatten, ordered a reconnaissance-in-force to seize the French port of Dieppe. The Allies' objective was to determine if it was possible to occupy a major port for a short period, gather intelligence and assess the German army's ability to respond to infantry attack. The raid, primarily manned by the Canadian army, was a major disaster, resulting in over 60% of the force of 6000 men killed, wounded or captured, plus more than 500 casualties sustained by Royal Navy personnel, along with the loss of more than 100 Allied aircraft.

In this special presentation from GSUTV, we remember the veterans that served during the Vietnam war.

Archive footage documents the World War One wartime displacement of ethnically diverse prisoners of war, civilian refugees and orphans. Placed in a labor camp, they are stripped, showered and shaved as they become forced labor. Many die, and their bodies are piled up in mass graves.
