The War Horse at once tells individual stories of Service Members and then at the same time reminds us of the common bond between all those who have worn the uniform, their families, and our communities. These stories hit home, especially with those of us who joined during this age of an all volunteer force. The range of these stories are as complex as they are varied. As many parts of the rest of the country continue to become politically polarized, Veterans are lucky to have common ground to engage in respectful and meaningful conversation. We are also lucky to have War Horse to help us remember that common ground.
