In reality, it dosen't matter, though. It is a spectacular picture which has become a symbol to us. I don't find any problem in that. I just think that the circumstances, including some misunderstandings, are interesting.
My dad is a (European Theatre) WWII veteran. I'm going home to see him next weekend. I wonder if he would like to see the movie. He's not in good health -- and members of what Tom Brokaw calls "The Greatest Generation" are dying at an increasingly rapid rate. We owe them a lot.

DeltAlum-Yes, we all do. Do you know if he saw SPR? If he did, then he would enjoy seeing this movie. Hope he is good health and spirts during your visit.
