Experience the American Journey through our country's visual heritage in this historical recording provided by the National Archives of the United States. From the U.S. Army's 'The Big Picture' television series, 1950-1975. Americans have traditionally responded to the needs of friends in trouble and for this film presentation in 'The Big Picture' television series, American soldiers are shown as they lend a helping hand to Korea, a country torn apart by war. Here is a film documentary about a gesture which started as an informal assist and has mushroomed into a big, organized program for the rehabilitation of certain areas of Korean life. Armed Forces Assistance to Korea, or as it is generally known, AFAK, is an American Army project which is destined to become a living monument of friendship between peoples. This is a story about the aftermath of war in Korea and how, through AFAK, American soldiers are once again demonstrating how willingness and cooperation can overcome obstacles in helping a country make a comeback.

Experience the American Journey through our country's visual heritage in this historical recording provided by the National Archives of the United States. From the U.S. Army's 'The Big Picture' television series, 1950-1975. Produced and filmed almost entirely on the sound stages of the Signal Corps Pictorial Center, Long Island City, 'The Lodge Act Soldier' brings to the television screen soldiers who have escaped from the Communist into the Free World. These same men who once trained in armies behind the Iron Curtain are today showing American soldiers what life in a Communist army is like, and thereby developing a greater appreciation among all Americans for the democratic way of life. Setting the pace for this most unusual film, M/Sgt Stuart Queen, host-narrator,Ipoints up the importance of understanding the Communist enemy. In 1950, to help further this end, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge sponsored the Alien Enlistee Program, now generally called "The Lodge Act." Under the provisions of this legistation, political refugees from any country behind the Iron Curtain were given the opportunity to enlist in the United States Army for a period of five years. At the end of this time, if their record was honorable they would become American citizens. In addition to the first-hand accounts by Lodge Act soldiers, this BIG PICTURE program will include Communist training and newsreel films. In 28 minutes, television audiences will be given one of the clearest pictures about the "soldier behind the Iron Curtain" ever to be released. They will learn from men who served in Communist armies and whose first-hand knowledge of communism is an invaluable asset to our Army.

Experience the American Journey through our country's visual heritage in this historical recording provided by the National Archives of the United States. From the U.S. Army's 'The Big Picture' television series, 1950-1975. For this pictorial report, three subjects are covered by Signal corps cameramen in Washington, D.C., the Panama Canal Zone, and North Hempstead, Long Island. The first, 'United States Soldiers' Home,' takes place not far from the busy center of our nation's capital--in a quiet and pleasant suburb. Here, many men who have served faithfully in the Army or Air Force, are spending their days of retirement. THE BIG PICTURE camera looks at the Soldiers' Home through the eyes of one of its residents, First Sergeant George Burns. From Washington, the television camera swings South to the Panama Canal Zone to see young soldiers in training. They are officers from Latin American countries who are attending a U.S. Army School. The final subject is one of utmost importance to each and every citizen. It is a civil defense story that takes place on Long Island. As the camera moves through the area, a test air raid is being planned--to be centered around the village of Great Neck where a simulated A-bomb attack will take place. For this test, the Army Signal Corps is cooperating by providing civil defense authorities with a television camera in a light plane above the bombed area. A tactical unit of the television division of the Signal Corps Pictorial Center does the televising.
