DHD Films Premieres Valor & Victory: The Making of the National Medal of Honor Museum
[ad_1]
DHD Films today announced the premiere of its latest documentary, Valor & Victory: The Making of the National Medal of Honor Museum, a 30-minute film that traces the extraordinary, multi-year journey to establish a permanent home honoring our nation’s bravest service members.
Featuring first-person accounts from Medal of Honor recipients and behind-the-scenes access to museum champions, architects, civic leaders, and veterans, Valor & Victory reveals how conviction and collaboration propelled the Museum from aspiration to reality in Arlington, Texas. The film also highlights the museum’s striking design, conceived by the late, world-renowned architect Rafael Viñoly, and the people whose dedication ensured the vision would endure.
“This project is a testament to courage in all its forms, on the battlefield, in city halls, at design tables, and across communities that refused to let the story of valor fade,” said Shezad Manjee, Founder & Chief Creative Officer of DHD Films and the film’s executive producer. “Valor & Victory captures not only how the Museum was made, but why it matters, today and for generations to come.”
The documentary charts the Museum’s competitive site-selection process, the decisive role of Arlington’s civic and business community, and the way leaders and cultural icons rallied public awareness, among them Medal of Honor recipients whose voices anchor the film’s emotional core, President George W. Bush, Roger Staubach, Charlotte Jones, and Chris Cassidy. The narrative underscores the Museum’s mission to educate, inspire, and unite through stories of uncommon valor and service.

New Children’s Book Turns a Childhood Playground Wound Into a Lesson on Forgiveness
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Author Lisa Doucette has published "Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!", a children’s book drawn from a painful memory of her own childhood, through Christian Faith Publishing.
The story follows a young girl named Lisa who climbs onto a tire swing expecting an afternoon of fun. A fall and a cruel remark from another child instead leave her confused and hurt. With her sister’s help and her faith, she works through the experience and arrives at forgiveness.
Doucette is a wife, teacher, and mother of two sons who has said she experienced the incident firsthand as a child. "I experienced this hurtful event as a child, and rewriting this story with a redemptive ending has allowed me to truly forgive," she said in the announcement. "I believe that forgiveness is the way to heal, and I hope this book helps other children understand that truth."
The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and centers on themes of empathy, agency, and choosing one’s response to cruelty rather than controlling it. The publisher describes it as a tool for helping children navigate hurt and process it through kindness rather than retaliation.
"Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!" is available at bookstores and through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees value in children’s books that work from a real, specific memory rather than an invented scenario — that specificity is often what makes a book like this land with young readers rather than read as a generic moral lesson.

Christian Faith Publishing Releases Pamela B. Craig’s “Tears and a Tiara,” a Family Memoir of Childhood Cancer and Faith
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Pamela B. Craig has released "Tears and a Tiara: A Testimony of Faith, Hope, and Love," a memoir recounting her family’s experience after her child was diagnosed with cancer, according to the publisher’s announcement. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing.
The announcement describes a family life upended by a diagnosis no parent expects to hear, and a narrative that follows the family through what the publisher calls heartache toward spiritual transformation. Craig frames the ordeal as a test of faith rather than only a medical crisis, according to the announcement, with the book positioned as both a personal testimony and an account meant to speak to readers facing their own hardship.
The title itself, pairing "tears" with "tiara," points to the book’s central tension: suffering alongside something the publisher’s description treats as a mark of grace or honor, a framing common in faith-based memoirs that cast a family’s hardest season as also a season of spiritual meaning.
Craig’s memoir joins a steady stream of personal narratives released through Christian Faith Publishing, which works with authors to bring faith-centered stories, often rooted in illness, loss, or caregiving, to print.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a durable category of faith-based memoir: narrow in audience, but consistently in demand among readers looking for first-person accounts of hardship read through a spiritual lens.
