I was an extra and couldn't have been more excited about that. I would love to see this movie and really see what so many of us don't come close to understanding what it really means to serve this country. The men and women who bravely took on the resonsibilty and went through things we can't imagine, bravely took such courage beond. I would love for this to be a movie that shows these times they experienced, and the painfully lost they lived with. An honor to them!!

My dad was Army and talked his 17 yr old brother into going onto the navy instead. Needless to say he was on the ship andlost at sea. We knew everything we could possibly learn about the disaster. It haunted my dad until he passed away at 90. I can't wait to see the movie but I'm glad dad won't see it. There are very few survivors remaining and I'm sure the memories would be very unsettling. However, the world needs to know.

People need to see movies that show real courage. Courage is doing what has to be done, even when you will probably die and there is no promise of success. It was because men were willing to go into harms way with courage that the allies won World War II. Right now we lack that conviction. We need to be reminded of it.

When you show it in Mobile, I think it should be aboard the U.S.S. Alabama

My uncle was a survivor, passing away in 2008. He never talked about it and we never asked many questions. We respected his desire not to re live any of it; I am sure he did enough of that on his own. After reading his personal account in the book with survivor accounts; I fully understand why.
