Patriotism creates a friendship forged in fire, tested by life, and tempered by God.
When a minister's son that was raised on a ranch, and an orphan that was raised in the streets, both join the Army on their 18th birthdays, they begin the journey of a lifelong friendship. Together, through war and through life, they experience various trials and hardships. During the events that they share together, one finds God, and the other finds himself. But is that enough for either of them to survive?
There are a few, those brave few, who see adversity and stand up, who volunteer for the unknown, who say, "Send me, I will go." Those few. In peace, in war, in need of healing, those who seek to defend principles of which most cannot fathom. Those few that embolden and empower lesser men through duty and sacrifice. Those exalted few, covered in uniform and risk. Those few harbingers of liberty. From the cockpit to the combat outpost, from the mess hall to the maintenance shed. Amidst sand, jungle, and seawater. Those few. Those heroes. God bless America as those few save the republic.
