Young Americans a film by Pat Dollard -Credit Sequence
When I saw some of the clips from Young Americans last year I was blown away.
(from an interview in Maxim, Nov. 2006) “Pat Dollard gave up a life of
luxury as a Hollywood agent for that of war journalist dodging bullets
and shrapnel along side Marines in Iraq. He did so you could see the
truth…his version of the truth.”

“I had about 15 employees, a wife, a daughter, and no one believed I
was going to lock horns with Al Qaeda, especially because my only
motivations was to keep more American civilians from dying, and to
honor those who were already risking their lives for that very reason.
Who does such a thing? But go I did, and like Kurtz, when i got back
from the first three months, sold the house, sold the car. Well not the
car. I love my H2. But I got out of the Hollywood agenting game, at a
cost of about 10,000,000 in future income.

“Eventually, I learned the joys of killing. But I’m skipping ahead of
myself. I landed for my first stint in Iraq in November 2004 armed
with a video camera instead of a weapon. I obtained a rare imbed
with the United States Marine Corps for a nonjournalistic private
citizen to make a documentary Young Americans.”
After a long wait by his supporters, Pat promises the film will be
released soon. His magnam opus Young Americans has also spurred
a website which is in my opinion, one of the best sites for news.
And around the site has developed a community of like minded, pro-
military folks. Look for the movie and support a serious effort to get
the truth about our troops and their mission into the general public.
You can feel the pulsating energy of the film in this credit sequence.
You want superheroes? This is the real deal.
