This is a powerful film about bridging the gap between generations of Americans and WWII Veterans. College of the Ozarks, in fulfilling its goal of patriotic education, is committed to providing opportunities for its students to travel with WWII Veterans back to the battlefields where the soldiers fought. For the students, they grow to understand and appreciate the sacrifices that were made for their freedom; for the Veterans, they not only have closure from the war, but they also know that their stories will not be forgotten.
The mission of College of the Ozarks is to provide the advantages of a Christian education for youth of both sexes, especially those found worthy, but who are without sufficient means to procure such training.
The vision of College of the Ozarks is to develop citizens of Christ-like character who are well-educated, hard-working, and patriotic.
To achieve this vision, the College has Academic, Vocational, Christian, Patriotic and Cultural goals. Even as College of the Ozarks has evolved through secondary and junior college stages to the present four-year liberal arts institution, the fundamental goals have remained the same.
