The Evolution of the United States Army Uniform, published by LionHeart FilmWorks and Ancient Wardrobe a few months ago is rapidly going viral using well more than a million viewpoints. Thevideo tells the story of this army uniform all the way back into the 17th century when the first organized militias were formed that could later become the United States Army.
LionHeart FilmWorks and its sister firm Wardrobe made the movie. According to Kevin R. Hershberger, founder and President of both firms, hyperlink it was an ambitious endeavor that nobody has attempted before in this fashion.
“This movie is a combined effort by both teams and companies in our quest and enthusiasm to produce historical content with an almost obsessive degree of historical accuracy and attention to detail,” says Hershberger. “We covered 400 years of history, so that I feel that’s something to be proud of!”
It provides the viewer a fascinating glimpse of 23 different styles of dress — the uniforms, weapons, and accoutrements — that were worn with the U.S. military soldier as far back as the 1620s. The movie is actually the first in a string that LionHeart FilmWorks and Historical Wardrobe are planning on the subject of historical U.S. army uniforms.
Hershberger believes that the video may be especially applicable this month due to Armed Forces Day on May 19th, which observes current members of the U.S. military, and Memorial Day on May 28th, which observes members of the U.S. military who have given their lives in service to this country.
