This film shows how much America has grown up since I was in Vietnam. You can be against the war and love the men and women who serve. This is an inspiration to future generations on how to treat those who choose to serve.
Will this be playing in the UTICA, NY area soon? rvjmaine1@aol.com
This beautiful film serves as an example of why the World War II generation is one of the greatest generations that ever was...and is.
There is even NO close second to this film. WOW

Unfailingly modest and profoundly humane, The Way We Get By profiles three people over 70 whose lives have been changed by a simple act of service. Full Review

Variety
Although the trio's work as "troop greeters" is the film's ostensible subject, their renewed and somewhat tenuous sense of purpose gives the doc its bite. Full Review
