This review is from: Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq (DVD)

As the wife of a veteran who has served our country for more than 20 years I have seen and lived with the consequences of this war. My husband is about to leave his family again for another 18 month deployment. Whether you support the war or not you should support the soldiers that help to provide you with your every day freedom. This war is real and it has affected many people in many defferent ways. This movies helps to show that-it brought tears to my eyes. But it also made me proud to be an American and proud to be a part of a United States military family. Tastefully done but real. It makes you think twice about not sweating the small stuff......

This review is from: Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq (DVD)

Every American should see this film. What you think of the war you need to see this film. This is one of the most difficult films to watch, but you need to. In a heated political debate, Alive Day Memories shows one of the most important views of the war and its aftermath. Gandolfini is not the star, he is the audience, he is listening to the stories the same as you. There is no slant, no political agenda, this movie is about the soldiers, and helping those of us who have no idea, to understand just a little about them and what they are going through. While we leave with only a glimpse, it igives you a new apprecation for the sacrifice they have made for our country. They truly represent the best in us all.

This review is from: Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq (DVD)

I have to admit that even though my husband fought in Desert Storm the impact of that war was nothing like the one our soldiers are fighting now. Interviewing soldiers that where permanently injured in the present Iraq war was sobering. I was so taken by the Marine who was brain damaged and all he could do was cuss and say simple phrases he remembered from being a Marine. He was completely paralyzed with the mind of a child. His "cheerleader" was his mother who honestly believed he would walk again and that his brain would heal itself. It was heartbreaking. I felt like I needed to hug the mother for her dedication not just to his care but for refusing to give up on her son. I also saw men and women who described how they lost their limbs, sight, or had Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. We all owe these men so much and still I do not think we give them enough. Mr. Gandolfini was wonderful and compassionate to these veterans. I do not think anyone could have done a better job interviewing.
