Strong at the Broken Places
This sobering film focuses on the human cost of the war in Iraq as expressed in the words and faces of the soldiers and their families. Max Cleland, a decorated, triple amputee from Vietnam who has made the cause of veterans his mission, brings each story to life. The result is both poignant and powerful. As with Cleland's own journey from Vietnam to Iraq, the stories of the soldiers and their families show that suffering in war can transform its victims into advocates for justice and healing - and even for the hijacked truth about 9/11.

The aim of this film is to not only awaken the consciousness of individual Americans, but to galvanize a national debate about, what Cleland calls, the "ground truth" of war itself. Max Cleland is the former director of the Veterans Administration and United States Senator from Georgia. He served as Captain in the First Cavalry in Vietnam.

prior to being elected as our Senator from Georgia.
I voted for him both for SoS and Senator. I am proud that he is a fellow Georgian. :patriot:
