Made me cry. Bless these folks.

Monty, get over yourself. They welcomed back a black man. Apparently your ignorance blinded you so much you missed that part.

Looking around this site, I’ve found a lot of posts I find myself disagreeing with.
This one, however, everyone should be able to agree is beautiful.

It’s touching to see people going out and making others feel respected and cared about like that. Everyone deserves a heartfelt welcome home, all the more so when they put themselves in risk.

Whoever put the trailer for this AWESOME film on the front page…THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the honor of seeing this film at the Independent Film Festival in Cambridge, MA, on Sunday, 4/26. And I had the honor of meeting the 3 subjects of the film, AND the Producer and Director, Gita Pullapilly and Aron Gaudet!

Here’s my review of the film!

Many of you know I served in Iraq in 2003-2004. And although I didn’t fly through Bangor on my way home from Iraq (I flew into Baltimore when I came home for my 2 weeks R&R Leave), I DID have the experience of being welcomed home by the members of a local VFW Post (at 0730 on a Sunday morning!), so I know EXACTLY what the Soldiers in the film were feeling and experiencing as they were coming off the plane and into the terminal! As a result, EVERY scene in the film that showed Soldiers getting off the plane and being welcomed home by the Troop Greeters just choked me up! A Marine Vet sitting diagonally behind me commented afterward that he was getting ready to hand me a tissue during those scenes!

A further review of the film can be heard on my BlogTalkRadio show of April 26th, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/icradio Gita Pullapilly and Aron Gaudet were to be my guests, but something came up at the last minute and weren’t able to be on the show, but they have been RESCHEDULED to appear on my show THIS SUNDAY, May 3rd, 8:00 PM EST, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/icradio Please listen and call in if you have any questions for Gita and Aron!

If you haven’t checked out their web site yet, PLEASE DO! http://www.thewaywegetbymovie.com/

Gita and Aron are hoping to show the film at military bases this year, and they’re shooting for the DVD to be out in time for Veterans Day!

Once again, Whoever put the trailer for this AWESOME film on the front page…THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bless them!

@Paul Couturier – OIF Vet:

I also thank you for your service, then and now through your efforts to promote this outstanding film.

Couldn’t get through this trailer without tears. As difficult as things are in their lives, they make it to that airport for our troops. This film will remind us of how our country is blessed by people like this. I hope their spirit carries on through the ages.
