Over 60 years ago our country was attacked on its own land. The brutal assault by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor marked the beginning of World War II for the United States , it also marked a new beginning for young Ray Parker.  The day after the attacks, at the age of only 18, he joined the Air Force.  He became a navigator on a B-24 Liberator Bomber and was part of the allied effort of relentless bombings that brought Germany and Italy to their knees.  On his 10th mission his plane was shot down behind enemy lines. Ray survived the parachute fall to be quickly captured by the Germans. Interned at a Prison camp, he was approached by the American commanding officer and asked to secretly edit the underground newspaper for the 9,000 captured soldiers there.  He was found out by the Germans only one month before the war ended.

This Documentary Short takes Ray Parker back to that time as he recounts his tales of battle and imprisonment.  It is important to remember that Ray's story is just one incredible account out of over 16 million Americans who helped combat these forces of evil.  They fought and sacrificed for our liberty.
