Okay. Thanks for the reccomendations. One of the first good books I read about the American victory in the war was Unheralded Victory. I can't remeber the author's name, but he was a Marine during the war.

I thought I remebered something about Mr. Hamilton's serving in Vietnam, but I wasn't certain. Which branch did he serve in?

(I

He was in the Army Security Agency as a Morse code intercept operator, stationed in Phu Bai (near Hue, I believe).

Also, you may want to check out neo-neocon's blog for more information on Vietnam: http://neoneocon.com/.  Click on the sidebar for the Vietnam category.  She has links to articles and books on the subject that are quite interesting.

This movie is playing in town, but very, very far from my house.  I don't know if I will make it.  But I certainly hope to see this movie at some time.

I'd like to see that film.

I can't believe you saw it three times in such a short time, Mrs. H! It must be really, really good. When I reminded Connor that it's two hours away from us and I can't drive, he said it's so good that I should go on foot to see it.

In case Connor didn't pass on the message, I have indeed read One Thing—probably more than once, in fact! *grin* I think it's the kind of book that has a lot of very memorable and quotable sections, so I find myself referencing it often. Like the section where he says something (roughly) like, "Apathy is not possible in the presence of the Son of God. Ineffable beauty compels a response-- passionate devotion, or hatred. Love Him or despise Him, but He cannot be merely tolerated. Sing for joy or spit in His face. Straddle-the-fence, you-do-your-thing-I’ll-do-mine indifference dies when Jesus draws near. Apathy is not an option.” I LOVE that-- it's so very true. I’m not sure what page it’s on, but that’s one of my favorite sections. Does Sam Storms remind you a lot of John Piper, too?

Yes, Lindsey, he reminds me very much of John Piper!  I know what you mean about the book being quotable.  Go over to my other blog (http://kahclassical.blogspot.com/), and you'll see my first post of quotes from the book (I'm only 40 or so pages into it).  I also recently purchased another Storms book called Signs of the Spirit: An Interpretation of Jonathan Edwards' Religious Affections.  I'm looking forward to reading that, as well as finishing his Chosen for Life.

Looks like we'll finally get to see it on Wednesday.
