If you want to see my Mom cry, just say the word 'veteran'---she has a soft spot for veterans like you can't imagine. So tonight, we went to see the premiere of a documentary about the World War II veterans from Michigan. It was held at the beautiful Fox Theatre in downtown Detroit and the place was packed. After introductions from local dignitaries, we settled in to watch the 'director's cut' of the film, which told the stories of many local men and women who were 'lucky enough to come home' from the war. I cannot tell a lie. A few tears rolled down my cheeks as I connected with the brave, yet very ordinary people.
