Quick Info:
Visit this website http://www.arlington-film.com/ to find out why the Washington Post called this video and song: “An Anthem for Our Generation”.
International recording artist, Lisa Nemzo was inspired by a true story of a mother who drives from NY to Arlington to visit the grave of her son who was killed in Iraq. Nemzo plays the mom in the film, directed by Mary Ann Skweres. The song was written by Lisa Nemzo with the late poet Artie Colatrella, to honor the fallen warriors and their families and send the passionate message to the service men and women who serve in all branches of our military: “We will not forget you.”
