Veterans Day 70 Years After 1945


This is for wfarley and my friends here. I've never posted under my real name, but I don't know how old we all are and how long we'll have to discuss this film, the greatest ever made. I just finished re-watching "The Best Years of Our Lives" and have so much to write about it, which I will probably post under the user name I've always used (and would appreciate if my friends don't associate the two here on the board). I wanted to use my real name because the movie's timelessness, profound insight into human frailty, and intense compassion put it in a class by itself. It's less a film than it is religion in the best sense of that word.

Hope all of you who are veterans and who have posted here in years past get a chance to rewatch it sometime this month and know how deep the respect will always be for men who sacrificed so much for their country.

God Bless.
