Thanks of a Grateful Nation, January 10, 2011
As a Desert Shield/Desert Storm veteran, I thought I was imagining things when I was ignored, passed off and generally pushed to the side. When I watched, I saw things that had happened to me after returning home. Worse, I suffered (and am still suffering) from the same symptoms as shown in the movie. The acting was great, the subject good. This movie, along with "Article 99" should be required watching for every Congress person and every veteran's health care worker.

IS this DVD "Thanks of a Grateful Nation"??? IF so, its excellent, but also a VERY big if., October 17, 2008
I have what I HOPE is this movie on tape, one which I thought was among the very best documentaries I've ever seen. My rating is based on it, "Thanks of a Grateful Nation," produced by and perhaps seen only on Showtime. Not a film with the cover title, the tags associated with it or reflected in the foregoing reviews. They appear to constitute reviews of an entirely different movie.
For example, while the actors are accurately listed, the film was NOT about the war as the reviews indicate. Rather, it was about Gulf War Syndrome and the resulting government/ military insensitivity, political heroism of a lone senator as well as, of course, the immense suffering of veterans and their families. I would love a copy of THAT documentary on DVD, but the reviews strongly suggest that this one is unfortunately anything but.

Haven't seen ANYTHING worse than this., October 10, 2006
I've bought one and now regret it alot. The video quality is, by far, the worst I've ever seen on DVD, looks like it was recorded from live TV broadcast by a 30 years old VCR plugged into a 40 years old TV set, and the cassete spent 2 to 3 years on some electric magnet before being digitized to DVD.
Not much documentary footage, but alot of the host speculations are filmed, making it look like a bad case of some TV show. Don't even think of buying - if you want a Gulf war documentary look at "Desert Triumf" which is not perfect, but light years ahead of this title.
