Ms. Smart is a goddess. She and Joe hit every note with total perfection.

Jean and Joe were so good I was weeping , pretty much uncontrolably by the end, and when she wiped away that teas I was a goner! What a terrific couple these two young men had as parents! I am so grieved for this family!

[@tammyweaver7198]

My condolences to this family. I thank you for your sons service and pray for your family for healing and strength. This story was told by one of my all time favorite actors-Joe Mantegna-but he's a better man. His support and respect for our military and their families isn't an act-it's genuine. Thank you both for telling these heroes story.

OMG That tore my heart out. I can't imagine losing both sons. Jean and Joe did a wonderful job telling the story. God bless this family and all those who lost children. 🙏

gut wrenching story. This is one of the best of the series. To often we dont hear what the families go through. Thank you Mr and Mrs Graham for sharing your life, love and loss.

[@bradabbott4892]

This is a story many thousands of families, could and should speak out about for closure and help, not just personal but for others who have lost family and friends, it took me a brain hemorrhage and 50 years to finally speak up and it really makes a difference .

Wow, I didn't know these Amazing Actors are a Patriots Loyal, You can't blame yourselves for his Decision. Know He's @ Peace Finally Love, Compassion ,Understanding. They Represent What it Means to True Americans. ❤❤

One son trying through his psychological adversity, & losing his private battle. The other son, not having to go, ( Sullivan Act), legally or by father's wishes, went to serve, do what his country believed was necessary to once again fight evil, & being killed while doing so. Family heartbreak beyond imagination, but their strength, as previously displayed by their sons, survived & thrived. America's finest they are.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. [John 15:13.] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. - 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NASB
