On HBO Tonight - "Last Letters Home" in honor of Veterans Day

I just heard about this on NPR. Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but this sounds like a very powerful program.

It premieres tonight on HBO.

Last Letters Home

The man who did the movie said the people who have gotten the "knock at the door" feel like the rest of the country has left them behind. They don't think anyone cares about the depth of their pain.

Here is the link for the NPR radio piece.

2. I heard that and it made me so absolutely furious

it's really tragic and sad.

And Bush and his cronies are sitting in Washington in comfort, destroying lives ...

4. I don't get cable or Sat TV, so I won't be able to see it

Michelle Norris said everyone should have their "hankies" ready if they intend to watch it.

5. Dammit - I just cancelled HBO on Monday because Bill Maher

had his last show on Friday. Oh well, timing is everything in life.

I caught part of that interview on NPR and I just had to change the station because I was on my way to a class and I didn't want to start crying. It was very powerful, very sad.
