{The big sister} loved this film. 'The Way We Get By'~ 'is a deeply moving film about life and how to live it. Beginning as a seemingly idiosyncratic story about troop greeters - a group of senior citizens who gather daily at a small airport to thank American soldiers departing and returning from Iraq, the film quickly turns into a moving, unsettling and compassionate story about aging, loneliness, war and mortality....the film carefully builds stories of heartbreak and redemption, reminding us how our culture casts our elders, and too often our soldiers, aside. More important, regardless of your politics, "The Way We Get By" celebrates three unsung heroes who share their love with strangers who need and deserve it.' {Quote from the movie's site} Currently, the entire movie can be watched here.
Thank you to all military service members, their families and those that support them!
'As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.'~John F. Kennedy
