The Way We Get By


I really like the title of this film, it's telling of the human condition: when life gets hard we all seek ways to cope. The Way We Get By is a documentary that captures the journey home for soldiers and the people who are there to greet them with a simple hug, handshake and smile.

On call 24/7 for the past six years, three senior citizens have made history by greeting nearly one million U.S. troops at a tiny airport in Maine.

I just saw this on PBS (you can watch it for free online through Dec. 12) the other night, right when Obama was making his speech about 30,000 more troops. It was a pretty powerful irony.

Ironic indeed.
