SYNOPSIS:
'FORGOTTEN HEROES ~ SUMMER of 69'
SYNOPSIS
When the United States Government could not get enough Americans to Volunteer to go
fight their Crazy War in Vietnam they created a Military-Service-Lottery-Draft signed
into law in the Summer of 1969. This lottery was to allow those who had a low number
to know in advance that they will be going. And those with a higher number above 165
would most likely not be drafted.
Our story begins as we are introduced to young boys and girls lives, their dreams and
loves of their lives in a small town known as PARADISE VALLEY.
Quite simply we will fall in love with them and their lives and dreams. And in the
distance War will be coming to take 3 young men away from what we have seen and
heard throughout the story. We will also realize that Jimmy Miller a college student is
also an Olympic Quality Diver who we will be amazed by his gift. As well as his
integrity and love for his High School love Lisa. It is hard to fathom that so many great
kids and families have dreams and gifts to share with the world. And Millions are killed
in War through out history in the prime of their lives to die for what a group of bankers
have paid for to make Money off of no matter who Wins. And once again a WAR. This
time called VIETNAM is created and young innocent kids are sent to fight for WHAT?
We will see in the film how American boys are driven to be good Soldiers and help their
Country. Trusting and loyal.
As we fall in love with these boys and their friends and families and experience the
beauty of being young and full of Hope and Dreams we realize that WAR is a trap. Not a
solution. And that in the end what happens to these boys that you wish were your own
family and friends ...we will discover the INSANITY that all WAR'S bring. Young
people and old people and all people all over the World in every language will have a
story that they too can share. Margaret Miller is the sister of Jimmy and she is our Voice
who is determined to make us think. With her music. With her devotion. And with her
Integrity to sacrifice and give back to her Nation by sharing the truth. And so she tries
throughout the film to be a Voice. And right to the end she gives a Concert to honor and
remind the community of the FORGOTTEN HEROES...that gave their lives in so many
WARS. And that we should re-think how many Wars we should ever have.
This is a film to make it clear what we lose when we have leaders that are involved with
fighting WARS they are not apart of. But are told to send our finest to fight a War for
who paid for their ELECTIONS. In the end I have written the story to inspire you and
motivate you to think about when our Country says we need to fight another War. Are
they personally going? And why not? And if they are not going or their children then
why are we going? Yes...I want us all to demand our leaders have to go too or no one
goes. And that is the key to this story. We must remember the FORGOTTEN HEROES
and speak up for what they didn't know and LOST THEIR LIVES FOR. Unfortunately it
is 99% of the time in a WAR for NOTHING. No good reason. Just a made up WAR for a
few men making Money.
Sometimes it takes 30 years to pass before a story can be truly understood after all the
lies are finally uncovered and the TRUTH shows his or her Ugly Face that was kept a
secret. So, read the script and experience a journey of a lifetime. As the FORGOTTEN
HEROES in our story make it clear WAR is not the best solution. Dorothy will be
known as the Voice of all Mothers who have ever lost a Husband...Son ...or Daughter to
WAR. As we discover not only the soldiers who are FORGOTTEN HEROES but finally
Honor all Mothers who are also FORGOTTEN HEROES who sacrifice their children in
the name of 'God and Country.'
