"Wow, after 'The Notebook' and 'Nights in Rodanthe', this is the third decent Nick Sparks film in a row, so maybe the series is starting to get better", is something that I wish I had heard someone say when this film first came out, one month before "The Last Song" (In all fairness, two Nick Sparks films in not even three months is pushing things a bit). Man, even this film's title refers to something as heartbreaking as a break-up letter to someone who has to kill people for his country, and sure enough, this romance gets tragic, which is good, because while the film isn't all that strong, it gets your investment more than the usual Nicholas Sparks film. Hey, for all of you people out there who are still shaken up by "The Hurt Locker" and want a less harsh look at the Iraq War, first off, it's been a long time since early 2010, when this film came out and late 2009's "The Hurt Locker" was still fresh in people's memories, so get over it, and secondly, see this Nicholas Sparks romantic-drama, because, as you know, absolutely nothing tragic will happen.
