POV Airs TWWGB On Veterans Day To Huge Response
Last night's Veterans Day national television premiere of The Way We Get By on PBS' award-winning documentary series POV was met with a huge audience response, making it the most commented on and most emailed about film of the entire POV season.
A few comments from the POV website following the broadcast...
This was one of the best films I have ever seen. This film made me laugh cry and motivated me to support our troops.

I don't know quite what to say except that this is one of the best stories I have ever seen anywhere!
I realize that the PBS rating allows only for a possible of five (5) stars, and that's what I gave this show. However, this goes far beyond the five-star rating! Words cannot describe how I feel about these people whom I have never met. They are certainly an inspiration to me at this time in my life.
I am in the process of retiring after working some 50+ years in various careers. I have been blessed enough to be provided for financially so that I can devote the rest of my life to helping other seniors who are less fortunate than I. I am 66 years old, and when I grow up, I hope to be just like these three. The phrase that sticks with me is '...you can rust out quicker than you can wear out....' I LOVE IT, AND I LOVE ALL THREE OF THEM!!!!!!
