This is one of the best movies that I have ever watched. Like others, I opposed not as much the war, as the way our politicians fought the war on paper. I never opposed the men who actually went over seas, and fought and died in this war. Eric Roberts should have won an oscar for this movie. The movie should have won an oscar, but it was about an unpopular war, and no one said much.

If you haven't seen the movie, I want to recount two scenes.

The wall is finally under construction, and workers are adding the names; cutting into the stone. A woman who is working suddenly starts to cry. Other workers come to her thinking she's been hurt by the stone cutting equipment, but that isn't why she is sobbing. She has just found her baby brother's name, and her tears are tribute to the power of the names on the black granite.

During a hearing before construction begins, someone is complaining about the black stone in a black place in the ground, and all sort of negative black comments. A highly decorated African American officer stands up, reminding the others of all the 'black' men who died in the war, and makes it very clear that the speaker better think before he makes any more negative black references.

I really wish this would go to DVD. It's something that belongs in every school and in every library.

Great Great Movie!!!!!!! Have only seen this movie once on TV. With some advertisement, and on CD format, you could sell a million of them. There are a lot of us vets still around. Great movie to pass onto our grandchildren.
