This is a collection of funny and wild stories and songs, not suitable for children under 14.

This DVD was created by Pat Mendoza to honor all of those veterans “who came before us” and to those “who will follow.” This video is a collection of story, song and visuals that pay homage to some of America’s unsung heroes. From Sam Antonio, the last living Acoma Indian who survived the infamous Bataan Death March to the Army Central Identification Lab Hawaii’s remarkable find of the remains of 19 Marines fifty-eight years after they were buried by the Butaritari people on Makin Atoll during WWII, The visuals in this film take you to those places and times. Angel Fire, America’s first Vietnam Veteran’s National Memorial (established 11 years before the Wall in Washington DC) is a magical place where “spirits come to rest” is memorialized here with a song and the sights of the Moreno Valley in New Mexico.

Other stories include the saga of Bryant Homer Womack, a North Carolina country boy and a pacifist who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor during the Korean War. The Year of the Monkey is a journey back to Boot Camp days in San Diego to the 1968 Tet Offensive, the bloodiest engagement of the Vietnam War.

From World War I to Vietnam this DVD is an hour-long journey that allows us to visit our past  so that we continue “To Remember…Duty, Sacrifice.”

"Ghosts of Our Past is a brilliant tapestry of story and song set in the natural beauty of America, Canada, Scotland, England and the Fiji Islands. Filmed and edited by Pat Mendoza, the footage enriches each piece, from 'La Llorona' to 'The Hills of Caroline'. Pat has a talent in waking the ghosts of each viewer."
