OHIO RAISES HEROES

" OHIO RAISES HEROES" My name is Joseph Carrion and I am a film director. A documentary movie which is currently under production, entitled, Ohio Raises Heroes. This documentary is specifically about the 190 Servicemen and Women from Ohio, who have lost their lives for our freedom in the Iraq War. This documentary will include video interviews with family members of the lost Troops, with discussion about the Servicemen and Women’s lives; the lives they lived, the lives they touched, and the stories that they left behind. It will also focus on the stories behind the medals that they earned and the family and friends that continue to mourn their loss. Furthermore, it will include stories about the people that have stepped forward to help ease the suffering of the surviving families. These are individuals who have made quilts, paintings, and other cherished objects that they have sent to these families, as a gift of their appreciation, honoring the ultimate sacrifice made by their sons and daughters. The reason I am sending you this letter is in hopes that you will assist in allowing this documentary to be viewed by the public. In recognition of these fallen Troops, my hope is that the public will view this segment of the documentary and be provided with a broadened view of the many losses that our Great Country has suffered and fully recognize the Servicemen and Women who have died for us in the line of duty. My mission is to keep the memory of these Servicemen and Women alive and I am asking that you please join me in this movement
