| It's an incredible story. But we were just driving down a country road and I think it was a lovely sunny day. It was like a movie set: a farm house, a big sign over the porch that said Welcome Home Roger, yellow ribbons around the trees, and people outside like they were having a picnic. And Charles says, You know what? We ought to go back and see who Roger is. And of course Roger turned out to be a veteran from Vietnam coming home. A baby he had not seen was born while he was away. His wife, his entire family, grandparents, people would walk out to the road and I'd get a shot of them looking down the road, peering to see if Roger was coming. And Charles came over and he said, Let's go. Time to go. I said, Yeah, but Roger. He said, No." He says, We dont need to see Roger. Let Roger stand for every Vietnam vet coming home and show people how they ought to be treated. |
