...wheelchair vendor? Our soldiers also deserve top-quality care for their injuries. Stuart J. Glassman, M.D. Concord, New Hampshire, U.S. Weisskopf is a hero. I'm a retired veterans Administration clinical social worker who treated war heroes for 40 years. I know what they are made of. Besides the valor he demonstrated by saving lives, he is putting his life back together after a horrific trauma. Like the great war correspondent Ernie Pyle, Weisskopf chose the heart of the battle zone to profile the armed forces. Anyone who has read Weisskopf's story should be able to appreciate the heroism...

Ross' valor, commemorated on homeofheroes.com, is the stuff of movie legend. (He did survive, regain his sight and marry his girlfriend.) But Hollywood didn't rush to make a stirring drama from his story, or from any aspect of that awful day in Hawaii (though the following year John Ford did direct a documentary, December 7th, that got limited release in theaters). Dec. 7, 1941, was a day that would live...
...Barley, a predictable rendering of the 1920 Irish battle of Catholic peasants against the Black and Tans; Bruno Dumont's Flandres, a horrifying but uninvolving study of Belgian farmers committing atrocities in an African war; and Rachid Bouchareb's Indigènes (Days of Glory), which dramatized the valor of Algerians who fought for the French in World War II, then found their pensions denied them after the Algerian conflict - an inspiring and troubling true story, encased in a deeply ordinary movie. A pair of young U.S. directors tried their hand at political statements, but fell, respectively, into obviousness...
