- Take on the role of Lieutenant James Patterson. You are the Allied force's most reliable military special agent. From storming the front lines of Normandy Beach as an infantryman to becoming an elite intel officer.
- When the Japanese declare war on the United States of America with the attack on Pearl Harbour, Corporal Joseph D. "Joe" Griffin fights through the Pacific whilst on a mission to rescue his captured brother.
- It was a close call with death that inspired War Reporter Alex Quade's film, Chinook Down. In May 2007 - an American Chinook helicopter was shot down by insurgents in southern Afghanistan. The crash killed 7-soldiers. NATO officials suggested the helicopter was brought down by small-arms fire. But classified documents released by WikiLeaks reported the helicopter had been "engaged and struck with a missile," suggesting the Taliban had effectively used a heat-seeking surface-to-air missile - a significant development not publicly disclosed before. Alex Quade, a freelance television reporter, was supposed to be on that helicopter, covering a battalion-size air assault mission involving Special Forces, 1/508th Parachute Infantry Regiment and the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade. But at the last minute, Quade switched helicopter seats with 2-public affairs officers. She survived to report firsthand on the recovery, including a fierce firefight, and interviewed pilots who reported seeing a missile streaking into the sky and striking the Chinook. Over the years, Alex Quade continued to gather material about the attack on the helicopter, interviewing pilots who provided air support to rescue teams on the ground, obtaining previously unreleased Pentagon documents, via FOIA appeals, and collecting video from soldiers and pilots on the scene. The result of her investigation is the award-winning "Chinook Down" -- garnering a national Edward R. Murrow Award, a Society of Professional Journalists Green Eyeshade Award, and American Legion 4th Estate Award. It is Ms. Quade's tribute to the soldiers she was embedded with, and nearly died with, and a look at the effects of PTSD. One soldier who had long suffered from PTSD told Alex, "You helped me come home from the war." Extreme storytelling & silent risk-taking lie at the heart of what Alex Quade does. She is a war reporter and documentary filmmaker, who covers U.S. Special Operations Forces on combat missions. She's the only reporter ever embedded long-term with these secretive units downrange, with no crew or support. She's received 2-Edward R. Murrow Awards, & the Medal Of Honor Society's Excellence in Journalism Award. Quade started her career at the White House; she's worked for CNN, FOX, HLN, CNNI, The New York Times, & The Washington Times. Her films include: "Horse Soldiers of 9/11", narrated by actor Gary Sinise. She serves on the Board of Military Reporters & Editors.
- It was the news the world waited for after the 9/11 terror attacks: a report of the first American troops on the ground in Afghanistan. All at once, the world's attention focused on an iconic photo of small teams of U.S. Special Operations Forces doing something no American military had done in nearly a century: ride horses into combat. That photo inspired artist Douwe Blumberg to sculpt a monument to these 'Horse Soldiers' now at ground zero. Alex Quade's short documentary expands on her original investigative reports for CNN.com and The Washington Times. Vice President Joe Biden quoted Ms. Quade's stories during the dedication of the statue in New York. "The courage of the first into battle is what guarantees the courage of those that follow," Vice President Biden said. "Horse Soldiers of 9/11" is the winner of a National Edward R. Murrow Award, an American Legion 4th Estate Award, Military Reporters & Editors Award, a Communicator Award, a Telly Award, a Monarch Film Festival Audience Choice Award, and Gig Harbor Film Festival Director Award.
