In February of 2004, I wrote about reading the book “Flags of Our Fathers” and the impact that it had on me.
From the looks of it, there will be a film based on the book. Directed by Clint Eastwood and having Barry Pepper as a lead character, gives me hope that this film will do the book justice.
Barry Pepper’s portrayal of “Jackson” in Saving Private Ryan was flawless and really pointed out the state of religion in our country at the time and how individual soldiers dealt with the carnage and death that they saw everyday.
I really do have high hopes for the movie and I don’t think it will let me down.
