MANALAPAN, Fla. (AP) — A Manalapan philanthropist is making good on her promise to herself to share the story of the nation's disabled veterans with as many people possible. On Nov.10, the documentary "Debt of Honor: Disabled Veterans in American History" is set to premiere nationwide on PBS. The hourlong film chronicles American wars starting with the American Revolution up to the current conflict in the Middle East, with a focus on the disabled veterans who come home to fight their own personal war of survival once they leave the battlefield. The $1 million budget film is funded by philanthropist Lois Pope, who for decades has wanted to share the story of the nation's disabled veterans if she ever had the financial means to do so.
