It's been an exciting couple years for us:

In 2009 we re-released the film series and launched AmericanHeroFilm.com
2010, footage for Peleliu 1944: Horror in the Pacific was featured in HBO's The Pacific.
Over the past couple of years we sold thousands of DVDs to trade shows and viewers around the world.

And this week we are proud to launch a newly redesigned website with a much better store powered by Shopify and PayPal.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments. We always look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for stopping by!
