In this comment on the tradgic effects of The Vietnam War.Ms.Bertinelli plays a young widow of a US Marine.Who is killed during America's intervention into it's worst.most stupid mistake in military history.With her husband dead and the military trying to force her to return to her family.Ms.Bertinelli refuses to give up her home and be treated like a pampered child.Unable to work with the mititary's unsuccessful social programs.She gets a job with the director of the base's rec center(played by Parker Stevenson.Best remembered for his previous tv efforts on "The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries"and for playing one half of"Simon & Simon"With Mr.Gerald McRainey).Who not only helps her enjoy her life again but gives her the strength to move on.The plot is predictable.But Valerie Bertinelli performances makes this film an enjoyable flick worth watching.
