[edit]- [opening lines] October 7, 2007, four days till we deploy. Grace knows I would do anything to get back to her. Anything. Today, I wrote her a letter.
- [last lines of the movie] I don't know who said "only the dead have seen the end of war". I have seen the end of war. The question is: can I live again?
