I also agree that the sacrifice for our country is not a big deal anymore as it used to be.<br /><br />I have not read this novel or watched any of the movie version . . . but I need to definitely add it to my list!Laura's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904763940307902364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673519716308112351.post-75751695602568237412009-10-15T13:22:08.319-07:002009-10-15T13:22:08.319-07:00I didn't think so either.

I also lament the fact that we as a country do not care for our country or soldiers like we use to. I live between two military bases and have a high respect for those willing to sacrifice for our country.<br /><br />I will be checking this book out. Thanks so much for the review.Cackleberry Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854044821312453776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673519716308112351.post-5631961457689729662009-10-14T13:18:48.827-07:002009-10-14T13:18:48.827-07:00Excellent!
