Worthy of national distribution - A must see!

Went to see this movie on Veterans' Day and it was the best way we could have spent that day! The story is well written with a couple of "twists" that I didn't see coming which is rare in this day and age. This movie should be part of the school system and shown to all Americans as part of a curriculum to help our young people to better understand some of their elders. Very moving and inspirational. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD. This will become one of our family traditions to watch on Veterans' Day just as we all have that one Christmas movie we have to watch every year. Worth every penny and every moment of watching.
