The WWII train lurched forward and the door to the new Nazi refrigerated boxcar slammed shut! Locked inside is Sgt. James 'Jimmy' Donovan of Ohio and the 101st Airborne 'Screaming Eagles'.
Sitting in his old, creaky chair, Grandpa regales his wide-eyed Grandson with tales of bravery in World War II. As the flickering fire cast shadows on his weathered face, he speaks of brave men enduring cold, sleepless nights in foxholes, and the camaraderie of soldiers who became brothers.
From the D-Day invasion in France to parachuting behind enemy lines in Italy, in combat Donovan saw the best and worst of humanity. After 18 months of fighting Jimmy is laying on the floor of a Nazi railway car giving his life for his country. After 4 days his mind made him believe things that just weren't real.
And whether true or urban legend, 'Frozen' highlights the astounding potential and hazard of the human mind. The only handicap in life is the one within your own mind, Grandpa would say. He left his Grandson with a deep admiration for the sacrifices made for our freedoms.
The preservation of soldiers' legacy during World War II is vital. By preserving their stories, we pay tribute to their contributions, educate future generations about the atrocities of war, and emphasize the importance of peace and justice.
Frozen is an engaging tale about a young solider, a young love, the war and the power of mind over matter!
