I pulled SAO / Survival Assistance Officer / duty back in the day - 1970s Ft Bragg...

Fortunately my deceased was a WW-II/ Korea/ Vietnam vet COL who had his affairs all squared away. He had a 3-ring binder - all organized -

It was still a moving event of " the process"

I'll leave it at that - as for the civilians on this forum - however noble you want to be - until you step up and engage - you are just a civilian ...

If you liked Big Fish, you'll love Second Hand Lions. You'll puddle up for this one as well

Deepthroat. Actually it was Linda that had the tears in her eyes no? I don't think Z-Man will allow the trailer

Yeah, that one is pretty high on the list of movies you don't watch while your dude friends are around.


Unless you and your dude friends enjoy crying together. I guess then it's the perfect movie.

Just watched this last night. Incredible movie. Bacon did a fantastic job.
Put it right into my top ten.

I thought it was quite emotional when Alderaan got blown up, and millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.. Damn you Vader !

The final scene in 'As good as it gets' is rather emotional for me.

The Green Mile has it's share of moments that'll turn on the water works. One in particular is when John Coffee returns the little mouse, "Mr. Jingles" back to life.

I saw this movie a few months after my father passed away.

I can't think of one time I've cried during a movie. I wish I had a better memory.

LOL! But I have to agree...too many real tears in this world to enjoy tear jerker movies.
