I am loving the suggestions I keep getting, but I won't be able to get to all of them for now as I have already made a list of reactions that I'm going to get done. I won't spoil the surprise but I think you'll enjoy what I have in store :). With that said, I hope you enjoy the chapter and I'll talk to you all next time. Feel free to review or send me a pm. Also just so I don't get knocked down, I own absolutely nothing except for my character of Vima. Everything belongs to their respective owners.

Vima played the Holovid. "Just to let you all know, I have a copy of myself with the Clones showing them the exact same thing." He stated getting the attention of everyone, Rex in particular.

"Well at least I won't have to watch everything twice." The Clone Captain says to himself.

Words appeared on the screen saying SIMPLE HISTORY Presents. It then shows an animated man with scratches on his face holding a soldier over his shoulders.

"Hold on," Mace says causing Vima to pause the recording. "What is this?"

"Oh right!" Vima says in realization. "You guys don't have animation!"

"Animation?" Plo Koon asks confusingly. "What is animation?"

"Okay I best way to explain this, imagine a photo." He says getting nods from everyone. "Now imagine it moving, that is what animation is. Since none of you have heard of it, I can say that it is a Terran invention, one of their most popular ones. With it you can create better stories and moments that you can only dream of with real life things. When making it your only limit is your imagination. This is an example of basic animation."

"I think I understand." Obi-Wan states. "So they can pretty much turn any sort of story into one you can actually see as if you were actually there?"

"Exactly!" Vima says with a smile. "And there's multiple types of animation, and you'll be seeing it." He says as he continues the video.

"Desmond Doss was not your average hero. He would become a Medal of Honor recipient, The United States of America's highest and most prestigious military award. As a combat medic who saved many of his comrades' lives in battle, without firing a single shot, because he didn't take a weapon into combat, because of his religious beliefs."
"Wait a minute...what?" Rex asks incredulously after hearing that. "He never held a weapon and never killed anyone because of his beliefs?""I'm surprised he's actually a war hero." Mace says putting a hand to his chin as he looks on in interest.

"Take a life, not something every hero does, hmm." Yoda says wisely.

"Desmond Doss was born in 1919, in the state of Virginia, and was raised as a strict Seventh-day Adventist. A Christian denomination that believed that Saturday was the sabbath, and that the second coming of Jesus Christ was imminent. They also believed strongly in non-violence, and a healthy diet, based typically on a vegetarian diet."

Everyone looked at Vima for information on Jesus Christ. He looked back at them. "Jesus Christ was a person believed to be the Son of the Christian God, this religion being called Christianity. I'll teach you more about it later." He stated getting nods from everyone as they go back to watching the video.

"Doss had been raised with a strict belief in the bible, and when it came to the Ten Commandments, he took them to be the core values of how to lead his life. When World War 2 started, he was conflicted, as he believed the war was a just one, but he felt that to kill another human being under any circumstance was wrong. He was already employed as Joiner at Newport News Naval Shipyard but nevertheless he joined the United States Army on April 1st, 1942. He could have requested a deferment but he wanted to do his patriotic duty."
