Abraham Lincoln famously stated that “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” How remarkable that this quote may resonate more today more than any other time in American history and how ironic it comes from the founder of the political party currently set to evade their sacred responsibility to lead this nation.

After the film, many veterans openly and emotionally told their stories about their experience in Iraq, and, more importantly, their experience when they returned home. Stories of denied coverage and bureaucratic nightmares were common. It was hard to watch these grown men and women veterans cry as they opened up in front of a large group and shared their experiences.
