Al Schmid:
[voiceover as the camera pans through the city]
This is Philadelphia, 1941. Everybody's got a hometown, this one's mine. My name is Schmid - Al Schmid. Maybe you've heard of me, maybe not. Anyhow, one way or another, what I've got to tell you starts here in Philly. I grew up here, used to go to places like Independence Hall - that's where the Liberty Bell is and where the Declaration of Independence was signed. When I went to school, we used to visit the museums and the famous places like Constitution Hall - our first Congress met right here - and Tun Tavern where the US Marines were founded back in seventeen seventy-five. And this is where Betsy Ross lived. You heard about her, I guess. She made the first American flag. None of these things meant a whole lot to me then. When you grow up with something, you kind of take it for granted, and the reason you're seeing these place now is just because this is where my story begins, but it could have begun anywhere. It could have begun in your hometown, maybe, and what happened to me could have happened to you.
