Two years ago I wrote this extended thread about the WW I soldiers of "Detroit's Own" 339th Infantry Regiment, who fought against the Bolshevik Red Army near Archangel, Russia. These soldiers formed the bulk of the 5,000 US Army soldiers in the American North Russia Expeditionary Force, whose veterans later became known as "Polar Bears".

Pamela Peak - a granddaughter of one of those veterans - has spent the past two years producing and directing a film about the Polar Bears. Titled "Voices of a Never Ending Dawn", it will have its broadcast premiere this coming Sunday at 3:00 PM on WTVS-Detroit Public TV [[Channel 56). It will be shown on other PBS stations across Michigan during the next three months and on PBS stations nationwide during 2010.

Tune in this Sunday afternoon or set your DVR/VCR to record it for later viewing!
