A great film for Black History buffs!

I worked as an extra in this film and I was so blessed to work alongside actors and fellow extras in this film. Thank God that Tommy Hilfiger Entertainment put up the money for this project and Mary Pat Kelly directed it. There's not that many black war films and I'm Proud (Pun intended)to say that you can place this film alongside Miracle at St. Anna, Glory, Buffalo Soldiers, and a few others. Like I said, there hasn't been many black war films made. So check out the film those who haven't seen it. All the best and God Bless!!!

P.S. Read the book Proudly We Served, the book based on the film written
by Mary Pat Kelly and the film's websites are www.proudthemovie.com or
www.ussmason.com. Be blessed!

I would love to get that flick. That is true there are not too many films of Blacks in major wars. I will check out those websites.

So the person that wrote the book ... then wrote the screenplay ... directed this film??? That explains a few things.
