Flags of Our Fathers

I don't know if any of you read the book "Flags of Our Fathers" (I know Casey did), but most veterans of WWII will tell you that it is one of the better books written about the War. Judy's father served as a navy medical corpsman, like the author's father, on Ieshima, which is an island right next to Iwo Jima. After I recommended the book to him, he opened up to me with some awesome war stories, some of which I was able to capture on video. These men were incredibly brave.

The movie is to be released next week and was directed by Clint Eastwood. I am looking forward to seeing it. I highly recommend the book. The site for the movie with trailers and some promotional featurettes can be found here. Variety magazine has a favorable review of the movie.

I probably won't see this movie for several weeks so if you see it, give a shout back here with a review.
