The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/1xVbUh7 )
reports that Downey said he wanted to stop at the base because he’s always been drawn to all things
military.
He said "it’s just a way of reminding myself that there are people out there who put their lives on
the line so I can go out and make movies."
In "The Judge," Downey portrays a Chicago lawyer who confronts his past in his rural Indiana
hometown.
