Sergent Donald James Metz
A moving story about a young man who perishes in World War II on his first overseas mission. A nephew is given his name in honour of the sacrifice. Hearing his name called in a Remembrance Day ceremony, the nephew begins a lifelong quest to understand the world his uncle experienced and what it means to carry someone else's name. Two journeys that see one Don Metz lose his life in combat while the other lives a life of peace. In today's world, as we strive to comprehend the meaning of the freedoms we enjoy, we are reminded of the paths that lead us to war. Lest we forget.
