The evolution of military uniforms of the United States Army Uniform, released by LionHeart FilmWorks and Ancient Wardrobe a couple of months ago is quickly going viral with well over a million views. Thevideo tells the story of the army uniform all the way back into the 17th century when the first organized militias were formed that could later develop into the United States Army.

The movie was made by LionHeart FilmWorks and its sister firm Historical Wardrobe. Based on Kevin R. Hershberger, founder and President of both companies, it was an ambitious endeavor that no-one has ever attempted before in this manner.

“This movie is a combined effort by both companies and teams in our quest and enthusiasm to create historical content with an almost obsessive degree of historical accuracy and attention to detail,” says Hershberger. “We covered 400 decades of history, so that I feel that’s something to be proud of!”

The video is actually the first in a series that LionHeart FilmWorks and Ancient Wardrobe are planning on the subject of historical U.S. army uniforms.

Hershberger believes that the video might be especially relevant this month because of Armed Forces Day on May 19th, that observes present members of the U.S. army, and Memorial Day on May 28th, which observes members of the U.S. military who have given their lives in service to the country.
