    Incredible story! Wonderful person. Totally was in awe of what she and countless others had risk their lives for others. However the producers might have made a basic mistake for dramatic effect. The footage of naval bombardment was actually from the battle of Iwo Jima by battleships of the US navy. A small disgression, a bit misleading and runs the risk of discrediting the whole video and the message.

    The stories is no interesting to me . It's heart breaking to tell . Specially to those elderly people's who still live in the country side. Most of them are known the actual fact.
