Everyone should see this film...

My husband and I just saw this at a special screening in Salt Lake City. We hear every time there is a milestone in the number of deaths in Iraq but when was the last time we heard about the number of casualties? It's amazing to me what these brave people are going through everyday. It's amazing how how much medical care is being provided generously by the personnel there, in Germany and the US. This is a film that should be shown in every high school and college. It shows what the reality is of this on-going war. My congratulations to the film makers and those medical and military personnel who participated in this endeavor. Thank you for all of your service.
