Gardens of Stone

Coppola (Jeepers Creepers III) directed this film in 1987. This is from the film: "Here's to us and those like us...Damn few left."

IMDb writes, "A sergeant must deal with his desires to save the lives of young soldiers being sent to Vietnam. Continuously denied the chance to teach the soldiers about his experiences, he settles for trying to help the son of an old army buddy."  Caan (Elf), Huston (50/50), Stockwell (Quantum Leap), Sweeney (Heist), Masterson (As You Are), Fishburne (Matrix), Siemaszko (Stand By Me), and Jones (The Lion King) all star. 

It is sad. All in all, I say: SEE IT
