Movie Haiku:Completing her National Guard service in Iraq, Kelli has only one goal: get home & make life as normal as possible again for her husband & daughters. But it's not so simple. Kelli can't quite settle in & the family has new routines that don't include her anymore. Cardinelli's performance is deeply moving. If we really honored our vets each & everyone of us would see this!
