The first U.S. soldier to die in World War I was from Evansville, Indiana.  One of the United States' most decorated soldiers was from Madison, Indiana, and became Indiana's ONLY Medal of Honor recipient of WWI.  The first Army Nursing Corps nurse to die overseas was from Henry County, Indiana.  One of the most decorated Indiana soldiers was an African American from Lyles Station, Indiana.  This one-hour documentary explores the sacrifice and personal costs of these and other Hoosiers who served.

This film tells the stories of forgotten Hoosiers who served during World War I.  The experience of the U.S. Army infantry have been depicted in dramatic reenactments, complimented with newly restored archive footage from the U.S. National Archives, and enhanced with current-day footage of the French battlefields of our Hoosier Heroes.  Interviews with extended family, current service members, military historians, and experts provide context and interpretation of what it meant then, and what it means now, to have served our country in the Great War.
