Hello Unsung Heroes for the Oprah Winfrey Network,
(Photos - Venice Beach/Santa Monica, CA)
I am so grateful; I feel like my prayers have been answered.
I am a female military filmmaker and I prayed two days ago that somehow I could honor my father's service in the military. He also has two grandsons who are currently serving.
I have made military films that have featured another WWII Vet here in California, but my family is from Arkansas and my Dad 78 lives in Heber Springs. One grandson is in Florida and the other was an hour north of London in the United States Air Force, 422 Security Forces Squadron for 15 years and an E6 Technical Sgt and is now in Denver, Colorado.
The other grandson lives in Florida and is the Acoustic Operator at Patrol Squadron EIGHT (VP-8) and Aircrew at U.S. Navy and he was part of 16 War Eagles. It's really sad to see them always leaving their little ones behind.
I love my Dad very much and I was born at the Pentagon in 1971 - he served there for 20 years. But I grew up in the south singing and dancing and enjoying the freedoms he fought for. He received the Bronze Star for ground operations against hostile forces.
His oldest son, my bother, is a preacher and doctor in Batesville, Arkansas and has two sons as well. He also has two daughters. Two "preachers daughters" (one who just had a Redneck Barbie Camo Wedding this Valentine's Day 2014) and I am a preachers sister and a military filmmaker who is terribly sad that I was never able to make any of my military films about my OWN military family. Two days ago I got on my knees and told Jesus and God how special they are to me and how much I miss them. I always wanted to be a military media woman like Lara Logan, but I am a sweet southern belle with a big heart and I was touched when I heard about this casting because it really feels like my prayers were heard.
The two grandsons in the military belong to my other brother Ted who lives in Redfield, Arkansas. I also have a cousin who served. I probably have more family members who served that I'm not thinking about right now. I have made military documentaries... but I have always had an empty place in my heart that I was never able to tell the story of my OWN family.
I love my Dad so much and he taught me a lot. He always encouraged me to not cut my hair and to sing. Last Veterans Day at the premiere of my third military film The Carrier (featuring First Lady Michelle Obama) I opened the premiere by singing the National Anthem. When I opened the premiere of my second military film at the Directors Guild of America, I told the audience about my father.
I even have a video clip of me talking with James Gandolfini at the Oscars Documentary event where he and I were talking about our war fathers... just one month before James died of a heart attack. My heart hurts because I feel I have a story inside of me about my military family that needs to be told.
I have a masters degree in Spiritual Psychology and my mission and purpose in life is to create meaningful media. As the daughter of a war hero, my heart hurts because I have not been able to tell the story of my Unsung Heroes.

Reality Check: Mark Burnett On Anchoring Values
"It cannot be phoned in, it has to continue to be great, and my philosophy of when you find something that works, it creates an anchor. It’s an emotional anchor for people. In the days of letters, or still people get handwritten notes and letters, you know, which come from the same person, you recognize the handwriting, you recognize the stationery, there’s an anchoring feeling when you get a handwritten letter. It’s what’s written inside that’s fresh. So a successful franchise is creating anchoring moments, anchoring phrases, anchoring music, lensing, that makes you feel a certain way, and you recognize your favorite show. It’s just the interesting freshness each week within that anchoring, emotional connection, that’s important. That’s what works." |
