On Saturday, March 14, went to see a new documentary film called Brothers at War, by Jake Rademacher. Jake is a filmmaker whose two brothers, Isaac and Joe, are members of the U. S. Army. Jake wanted to understand what motivated them to serve, and what it was like to serve in a combat zone, so he made two trips to Iraq and embedded with four different units. He shot over three hundred hours of video which he condensed into this spectacular film that I hope gets wide distribution and much success.

The average Joe in America hasn't a clue what life in a war zone is like. I'm one of them, but I keep trying to learn. This movie premiered in Fayetteville, NC (Ft. Bragg) where I saw it, Columbus, GA (Ft. Benning), Jacksonville, NC(Camp LeJeune), Wahsington, D.C. and Chicago. This week it should roll out to 15 more cities. If you see it pop up in your town, go see it. Tell your friends about it.

While I was at the theater I had an opportunity to meet Gary Sinise, who is the executive producer of this film, which means he's signed on to help make it succeed. He's been very supportive of our troops and deserving of our thanks for all he's done.

I took advantage of the opportunity to give Gary a copy of The Tangled Web in hopes that he'll consider it for his next leading role.

Go see the movie!
