Three months after his notorious blackout farewell from "The Sopranos," actor James Gandolfini will return to HBO with a documentary about wounded U.S. veterans of the Iraq war, the network said on Monday.

"Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq" will debut on the pay-cable TV channel on September 9, featuring Gandolfini's interviews with 10 American GIs recounting their experiences in surviving close brushes with death on the battlefield.

The documentary, for which the "Sopranos" star was the executive producer, marks the first project from his Attaboy Films production company, HBO said.

The title of the film comes from a phrase adopted by many wounded Iraq war veterans referring to the day they narrowly survived a combat injury, often with horrific wounds that leave them permanently disabled.

3. Thanks! I had a great night, with great friends, one who's been a key

worker for 'The Sopranos' since its inception. It was a hoot!

4. I'm sure it will be a great documentary...

...but I hope this documentary will feature an ending; and not
several seconds of black screen as a song from the group "Journey" plays.

;)

6. Let me guess...

I'm supposed to "hold on to that feeeelaiiin".

I watched two "Sopranos" episodes tonight. I think
I'm still in mourning. There will never be another
show like it--or one as prolific.

I might have to get a Paulie haircut...you know, with "wings". The other
soccer moms will stare--but who gives a rip.
