After the success of the DVD signing at Deseret Book, I was worried that no one would show up to the screening.  I didn’t know if anyone would come see a film they could watch on DVD.  But when people started lining up it was clear that this was going to be a special night.

The house was full and the audience was fantastic.  They laughed and cried in all the right places.

When the film was over the audience kept asking questions and it seemed like they didn’t want to leave.  Then someone asked if there were any WWII veterans in the crowd.  I soon learned that there were several, so I invited them up.  Everyone leapt to their feet for a standing ovation.  It was very moving.

As I talked to each veteran I suddenly realized why so many people came.  They were connected to this war the same way I was.  They knew a veteran and they loved him.
