Patriotism: Red, White, Blue & Sometimes Black

Draft day, May 13, 1970, Bob Wood enters the U.S. Army. Unbeknownst to his
family, Bob seeks to win the war in Vietnam to help stamp out the spread of
communism in Asia. However, starting with his trip to the induction station in
Memphis, Tennessee, he learns that not everyone shares his belief or his
patriotism. Looked upon as an Uncle Tom, by other fellow black soldiers, Bob
upholds his commitment to give his life for a constitution meant to exclude him.
His white Noncommissioned Officer Supervisors and company Commanders
question his motive for wanting to go to Vietnam; saying he was probably seeking
revenge.

To make matters worse, Bob Wood finds himself torn between being loyal to the
army establishment, and fighting the injustice he and his fellow black soldiers
experience on a daily basis. While assigned at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, he
doesn’t help himself or the black soldiers’ cause by getting involved with the
daughter of the white commander of the United States Army Disciplinary Barracks.
Follow Bob Wood's journey from a small town in Lakeview, Arkansas to a world he
never knew existed. He joined the military with the hopes and dreams of making a
difference. Will he rise above the racism and oppression and stand for his beliefs,
or will he conform in order to survive?
