Goofs
The honor detail that brought Neil's remains into Union Station was in dress whites. But we were assured that it was on Valentine's Day, February 14. The Navy wears blues in February, even in San Diego. The honor detail should have been in dress blues.

Quotes
Neil Thomas: When I think back about when we were growing up together I remember so many things. But for the life of me, I can't remember a time when I wasn't in love with you.

Betty White brings the tears!!

Hallmark Movies have long been synonymous with Tear Jerkers and sometimes multiple tissues required.

This movie is no exception. Betty White stars as a young mother to be whose husband goes off to war as a pilot and becomes missing in action. Jennifer Love Hewitt is a news reporter wanting to do a story about the lost love and hopes to help find out exactly what happened to the missing pilot. The plot also features an absent boyfriend and grandson as potential new love interest.

Good movie - worth a view!
