Timeless Story of Soldiers Returning From War

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2005)

I saw this movie on a fall day some twenty years ago and since that time I think of it often. It tells the story of three servicemen returning home after WWII. Today I work for the Department of Veteran Affairs and treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, the psychological trauma related to combat. An Air Force Officer having nightmares. An infantry NCO returning to the business world. A sailor disabled for life. Along with the emotional impact on family and friends. I recommend this movie to all generation of veterans as a means to normalize the bewildering experience of coming home. From WWII to Iraq all of these soldiers identify with the characters in this movie. It is a timeless story of soldiers coming home from war. A must see.
