I live close to Bangor and travel to/from BIA on many of my business trips. I’ve seen these folks in action and I want to thank them for their labor of love. I’m really happy that their tireless efforts are being recognized for posterity. While I’ve always hated this needless and illegal war, I want to thank all of these greeters for their devotion in making our troops return to the States a very memorable occasion.</p> <p>I’ll get the word out locally here about this film…it’s really important.</p> Late to the party, as usual.

I would never have given it a thought to be honest about greeting or saying good bye to the troops in this way. When I read that people do this, I was intrigued to know who they are. Film is such a great storytelling medium, and it sounds like this is a good example of that.</p> Sounds like a fascinating film.

My favorite Bill scene is one that actually doesn’t get a ton of laughs but it always cracks me up…it’s when they joke about Bill’s age and how he’s older than the pope….he’s AH HUH cracks me up.<br /> As for Jerry, I love the phone call scene.</p> I love the RX seen as well.

You have to understand, my mom never even went out after dark for years, and suddenly she was NEVER home, never home after dark, never home at 3am…we were all kind of freaking out, but she was so dedicated she just made it her new way of life. We’re all very proud of what she is doing.</p> I love the scene of my mom on her way to the airport and talking about her daughter as well…because that was what we were all doing.
