Last night I watched a movie that will stay with me for a long time.
Kevin Bacon starred as a Marine Lieutenant Colonel who is escorting a fallen Marine from Dover, Delaware to the young man's final resting place in Colorado. The film is a brilliant achievement of humility, understatement and simplicity. As a former Marine officer myself, I identified with the sense of duty and emotional conflict of the Bacon character.
The film reminded me of the importance of life story capture and celebration, even among the young.
