“My oldest son spent 8 years in the Old Guard Delta Company from 1984-1992. He was fortunate to be ask to play the part of the guidon bearer ( the black Delta Company Flag ) in the movie, and also to help instruct the actors in how to dress, stand, march ect. The movie was a masterpiece that covers just how it was for troops state side while the war was raging in Asia . My son said u0026quot; Coppola did a superb job of following military protocol to make the film as real as possible u0026quot; The story line is so right on. Coppola has another winner in my books. I thought the movie was very moving, lacking in nothing .u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was tragic that Coppolau0026#39;s son was killed in a boating accident while out with Ryan Onealu0026#39;s son during the making of this excellent movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs you can tell Iu0026#39;m not a professional writer, but I just had to say something about how good this film is”
