In the autumn of 1918, more than 1 million Americans fighting in France engaged in the bloodiest battle in the history of the U.S. military. Over 47 days of combat, nearly 100,000 U.S. "doughboys" were wounded, and more than 26,000 were killed in action in a chapter of "The Great War" few Americans know. During the 100th anniversary of World War 1," A Golden Cross to Bear" follows the grandson of a soldier from the 131st Infantry Regiment who embarks on a global journey to retrace the path of those who helped bring World War I to an end, and how that experience ultimately shaped the global map, and his own family.
