Most of the Greatest Generation didn't discuss their own war heroism. Her beloved elderly uncle died before he could explain why.

Kelly has just begun interviews for her special newspaper section in honor of upcoming Veterans Day, but she struggles to understand some of the larger issues of the war experience. Her boyfriend Mitch has a few insights, but he was never in combat.

Out of the blue, Kelly begins having flashbacks to heart-warming experiences with her beloved Uncle Edgar, a World War II veteran of the Pearl Harbor attack...but he's been dead almost twenty years. Kelly also believes she's hearing messages from her deceased Aunt Mildred, who took her in after Kelly's parents died.

Are Uncle Edgar and Aunt Mildred truly reaching back from beyond to help Kelly understand these complex issues? Or is Kelly just now remembering things long forgotten?

Why did Uncle Edgar tell the young family members such a different version of his actual experiences on December 7, 1941? Will Kelly's key interview with the American Legion Post commander just confuse her more...or help pull all these threads together?
