My latest script (a work in progress) is about a daughter's search to "hear her father's voice" decades after he passed. Based on the limited series pilot logline below, what additional information do you want to know first? I welcome any kind of helpful response. "Upon discovering her late veteran father's 500 World War II letters and membership in an exclusive military club, a Niagara Falls woman embarks on a mission to forge a new connection, delving into his challenges, sacrifices, camaraderie, and resilience in a pivotal period of American history."

Great write-up below from the Military Order of the Purple Heart of the U.S.A., Inc. about the history of the American Purple Heart... Did you know that the Purple Heart was originally designated as the Badge of Merit in 1782 and George Washington 🤯ONLY🤯 awarded three servicemembers with the honor? It's true - check out the post below to learn more!!
𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲, a special day to honor and remember the brave men and women who were wounded or killed in service to our country. Awarded in the name of the President, the Purple Heart recognizes their sacrifices and valor. Across the nation, states, counties, and cities, along with sports and entertainment entities, pause to honor these heroes. Military and veteran organizations hold remembrance events, and we invite you to join us in paying tribute to those who have received this esteemed honor. 💜 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐘 💜 The Purple Heart, originally designated as the Badge of Merit, was first awarded by George Washington in 1782 to recognize enlisted soldiers for “any singularly meritorious action.” Although only three were initially awarded by Washington himself, the Badge of Merit laid the groundwork for today’s Purple Heart. Revived in 1932, the Purple Heart was expanded to honor those wounded in combat. By 1944, its purpose was refined to specifically recognize those who have been wounded or killed in action. The first modern Purple Heart was awarded to General Douglas MacArthur for his service during World War II. Since then, 1.8 million Purple Hearts have been awarded. 💜 Purple Heart Day, first observed in 2014, gives us all a chance to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of our service members, ensuring their courage is never forgotten. Join us in honoring their legacy. #MilitaryOrderOfThePurpleHeart #MOPH #PurpleHeartDay #HonorAndRemember #VeteranSacrifice #MilitaryHistory #AmericanHeroes #ServiceAndSacrifice #Veterans

Black veterans have played a significant role in shaping the trajectory of American history since the nation's inception. Their contributions have been profound and multifaceted, influencing military campaigns, civil rights movements, and societal progress. Understanding the historical numbers of Black soldiers provides a glimpse into the magnitude of their impact. The legacy of Black veterans continued to evolve throughout the 20th century after serving in both the American Revolutionary War and the Civil War. In World War I, over 350,000 Black soldiers served in segregated units, demonstrating valor and resilience in the face of adversity. World War II marked another significant milestone, as over 1.2 million Black soldiers served in various capacities, including the famed Tuskegee Airmen and the 761st Tank Battalion. Their contributions helped secure victory overseas and fueled the momentum for civil rights back home. Today, Black veterans serve honorably in the armed forces, contributing to the nation's defense while advocating for equality and justice. Their enduring legacy serves as a reminder of the invaluable role they have played and continue to play in shaping America's history and identity. “Your New Dawn Awaits” Available 24/7 for Help 📲 702-595-2995 www.firstdawnrecovery.com #firstdawnrecovery #veteranrecovery #veteranrehabilitation #rehabilitationcenter #mentalhealth #veteranmentalhealth #lasvegasrecoverycenter #lasvegasrecovery

Do you know the stories your family's veterans carry in their hearts? 🇺🇸 ♥️ The stories of our grandparents' valor and sacrifice often make up the tapestry of our family legacies. Yet, as time marches on, we risk losing these personal accounts of history. 🪦 Now is the crucial moment to engage with the veterans in our families — to ask, listen, and record their military experiences that shaped their lives and our heritage. 🎖️ My own experience with this preserves a chapter of my family's story forever. A naval aviator in the family, who flew in blimps during the Korean War, shared his tales on video 📹. Those recordings are now beyond valuable, especially as we navigated the challenges of his worsening dementia. I pose a question to all of you: Have your grandparents shared about their time in the military? 🪖 The reflections they share could offer insights into resilience, courage, and history that textbooks often overlook. Their service deserves to be honored and remembered by generations to come. For those eager to preserve these living histories, Our Patriot Stories offers a platform to record their military history for free. Find out more and get started by visiting the link in the comment below. It's a gesture of gratitude you'll cherish—a narrative thread in your family's story that you won't want to miss. #MilitaryHistory #FamilyLegacy #Veterans
