In the Valley of Elah

Went with friends to see the movie, In the Valley of Elah this afternoon. A powerful unrelenting sad movie and it seemed so strange to walk out into the sunlight at the end.

The effects of the Irag war continue into the lives of the returning troops, families and communities.

All familiar to me from the Vietnam war era.

After our two rains storms, little bits of green are appearing on the ground and in the bare oak trees.

I recommend this movie.
