Just finished watching The Thin Red Line a couple of minutes ago. This was the second time I had seen it. In case you haven't seen it yet, it's worth your time. It's a movie about Guadacanal.
Everytime I watch a movie like this, it really gets to me. Kind of shakes your whole body and your senses. Makes you think. Makes you sad. Makes you proud. Makes you mad. Shakes your sensibilities. Hard to imagine what they went through.
I walk into my office and look at all the pictures I have of the 540th and you just sit and stare at the faces. You wish you could say something profound or offer an apology to them for what they had to go through.
Sigh, I don't know what else to say tonight. Had to write something...
