On call 24 hours a day for the past five years, a group of
senior citizens has made history by greeting nearly 800,000
American troops at a tiny airport in Bangor, Maine. Airing on
Veterans Day, "The Way We Get By" is an intimate look at three of
these greeters as they confront the universal losses that come with
aging and rediscover their reason for living. Bill Knight, Jerry
Mundy and Joan Gaudet find the strength to overcome their personal
battles and transform their lives through service. This
inspirational and surprising story shatters the stereotypes of
today's senior citizens as the greeters redefine the meaning of
community. A co-production of Dungby Productions and ITVS in
association with WGBH and Maine Public Broadcasting Network (MPBN).
By Aron Gaudet.
