Premiered in May of 1998 only on SHOWTIME

Emmy and Golden Globe winner Ted Danson, award-winning actor Brian Dennehy, Emmy Award winner Marg Helgenberger, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Steven Weber star in THANKS OF A GRATEFUL NATION, an explosive fact-based drama which discloses the U.S. government's denial and subsequent cover-up of troop exposure to toxic agents during the Persian Gulf War. Directed by two-time Emmy-nominee Rod Holcomb from a script by five-time Emmy-nominee John Sacret Young, the film is executive produced by Tracey Alexander and Andy Adelson and John Sacret Young. Steven Hewitt serves as co-executive producer.

The film follows different individuals who return home from the Persian Gulf with mysterious illnesses that they pass on to their families. Ted Danson stars as Jim Tuite, a former presidential Secret Service agent now working for Senator Donald Riegle (Brian Dennehy), who not only discovers how many veterans are affected by Gulf War Syndrome, but that the U.S. government is trying to cover it up.
