Description

A riveting and emotional tale of the boys who played in the 1942 Rose Bowl and then served on the WWII battlefields-a story of football, wartime, and boys becoming men.

Shortly after this unforgettable game, many of the players and coaches entered the military and went on to serve around the world on famous battlegrounds, from Iwo Jima and Okinawa to Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge, where fate and destiny would bring them back together on faraway battlefields, fighting on the same team.
