I produced this video for Veteran's Day, in honor of my late Uncle 2nd Lt. James L. Kemp who was KIA June 3, 1944 outside Rome Italy. Second Lt. Kemp served with the 3rd Infantry in Africa and Italy during World War II. He was awarded the Silver Star and the Purple Heart. He was also awarded The Order of the Red Star by Russia, one of only 182 given out to Allied soldiers during the war.

I added this video to the Force collection as it reflects the type of conditions which the Force was subject to during it's operations in Italy
