Our friend, Roger Erber, showed the film The League of Grateful Sons to his entire congregation. Today he sent us the following recommendation:

As I watched the film, I quickly realized that it mattered little whether one’s own father saw combat or not. As Americans — as Christians — we all share in the legacy that these wartime heroes have given their sons, and are richer for it. But we each have our own legacies to claim, as well. The League of Grateful Sons not only tells the tale of men of gratitude, but stirs each viewer to become one, themselves. It is a moving collection of stories, and an effective exhortation to ask, honor, and tell. We have seen tears fall, prayers ascend, and men walk away from the film armed with resolution to strike a blow at our individualistic mindset and sit with their fathers and ask them for the stories, the experiences, the lessons — the treasures.
