The Promise of Love

Unfortunately, after viewing this film starring Valerie Bertinelli,(Kathy Wakeman),"Trust Me",'05, I found that this film is being actually experienced by our young men and woman who are fighting now in Iraq as they were in Viet Nam. This is a wonderful romantic drama about a woman who decides to give up college and marry her boyfriend, who is in the Marines. Kathy has to adjust to being a military wife and does a good job of mixing with all the other wives who are stationed on the base. Kathy even takes up gardening to try and keep her mind off her husband who is in Viet Nam. Craig T. Nelson,(Major Landau),"The District",'04 TV Series, has some brief appearances along with Shelly Long,(Lorraine), who gives a great supporting role as her next door neighbor who has two young boys. Unfortunately, this is a story that seems to repeat itself every time we have war in the United States and the high price we all pay.
