I hope I didn't overlook it, but I searched and couldn't find any existing threads about this documentary. No, I absolutely didn't/wouldn't watch the Oscars on Sunday night. But when I read the winners list, and saw that this 40-minute film had won the award for best documentary -short form, I sought it out. From a military brat, whose father is a decorated Korean War Veteran and whose brother was KIA, I can tell you that the movie is very sad and emotional. It is currently available on HBO On Demand and HBO to Go. I couldn't find it on Netflix or Amazon Prime, so HBO may possibly have exclusive rights currently. God bless our military veterans.
