James Gandolfini (Tony!) hosts a HBO film about wounded vets. It's NOT an anti-war film. Listening to the pride that the wounded soldiers and Marines have about their country will make you weep. The link takes you to the full film which you can watch free for a limited time.

Update: moved to Sunday to keep the link and story visible for another day.

God bless and Semper Fi.

#2  I was able to watch it all. It's hard at parts, it really is, but worth it to see. A good reminder of the price our warriors pay to protect us and how important it is for us to thank them for the debts we owe them.

The most amazing thing is how determined they all are. They've paid a heavy price but they refuse to let it destroy or ruin their lives. They are amazing people and we are very lucky indeed to have such people among us.

#1  I'm sorry. I could only manage 15 minutes. Thank God the traumatic brain injury and prosthetics/rehabilitation fields are making such strides. I'm going to have to talk to my mother, a retired occupational therapist, who'd worked with te new veterans of the Korean war.
