Yes, thank you for the reminder! It's hard to believe five years have passed -- and a sign of how my life has changed that I would have forgotten...
Five years ago, this movie affected me so deeply that I returned again and again to absorb as much as I could... to "own" the words and images that reminded me what strength, courage, honor and character could (and should) mean. Sad, but true, that at 36 I was in search of a role model. I didn't know it when I walked into the theater that Friday afternoon five years ago, but when DDL portrayed Hawkeye in LOTM, there was no doubt. I am, and will forever be, grateful.
