You Don't Know Jack: A Montford Point Marine

In this compelling short film, we follow the life of a Montford Point Marine as he reflects on his experiences and the challenges he faced as an African American in the Marine Corps. Set against the backdrop of racial segregation and the horrors of war, the film delves into the Marine's journey from the initial days of training to witnessing the devastating aftermath of the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. From Korea to Vietnam, the Marine's resilience and dedication shine through as he recounts his harrowing encounters with death and his unwavering commitment to his fellow soldiers. Through his story, the film sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of African Americans in the Marine Corps and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these unsung heroes. Ultimately, it becomes a powerful testament to the Marine's determination to share his experiences, educate others, and preserve the legacy of African Americans in the military.
Directed by Daniel L. Bernardi.

Thank you for telling your amazing story. Among the first black Marines and among the first to integrate the Marine Corps and did it during war time. Hand salute!

It's an American story. Please share and ask folk to subscribe so we can put out more stories like this (well, not quite like this - Jack is utterly unique).

Looking forward to seeing this. I met Jack a couple of years ago and he told me about his story and those of the Montford Marines. He is a true hero. He is truly dedicated to making sure these men get the recognition they deserve.

Please do call Jack. I'm sure he'd love to hear from you. He is an American hero (though, as the director of the film, I can tell you he would not like hearing me say that -- but he is).
