1781. The nation of the United States, still young, fights to obtain its independence.
In 1941, it was young farmers from these same lands who were called to serve under the American flags and come to help France against the Germans. The history of the United States is not short of conflicts and today, the cycle repeats itself with "the boys", young soldiers leaving for the fronts in Iraq.
Welcome to the story of Bob Slaughter, a young American from Virginia, who, at the age of 15, convinced his father to join the National Guard. Sixty years of soldier's life rocked by these numerous wars.
