This movie trailer caught my eye as I was doing some research for an art project. I wanted to do a 2-D black and white piece that combined many aspects of the military and those who risk everything to protect our freedom. I was downloading pics from all branches when I came across this trailer and my jaw dropped. This will be an amazing movie starring the men who do this for a living. Nothing could be more real or raw. The brotherhood seen between the men and the courage, honor and loyalty they possess will make this one of the best military movies EVER. These are no actors, but THE SEALs. I am definitely excited for this movie!
I found this interesting because I just began re-reading some of my favorite books which are written by Dee Henderson. She is a Christian author and my favorite books are from her "Uncommon Heroes" series about the lives of SEALs, PJs, Federal Agents, etc., and how they live their lives with Christ, how they have relationships and deal with everyday emotions and fears. I started reading these probably Sophomore year of high school. I fell in love with these books and the sense of patriotism only bolstered my love for God and Country. I have always had a passion and desire to be able to serve.
Ironically, as I am getting back into reading for leisure, even taking a step to re-kindle my relationship with Christ I find more that only excites me to push harder. These also come after I told myself at the beginning of this year that I would do what is necessary to get back into peak physical condition, rehab my hips and pursue active duty. It is interesting how things play out and when I decided to pursue active duty I continually find more that only strengthens the flame.
I mention this movie because of how exciting and unprecedented it is. SEALs, as well as PJs, Marine Recon, Delta, Rangers, etc., are silent warriors that are highly-skilled and trained and risk everything for their fellow warrior, their families, their country. They all do it for no recognition or praise. These men make me proud to be a soldier and to be a part of our history. These men risk their lives everyday, even when the American people know nothing of what they are doing, they risk their lives. Our country has lost a sense of patriotism and community, ideals that soldiers everyday fight to protect. I hope this movie does extraordinary because individuals like this deserve abundant praise and gratitude. I look forward to the day that I began active duty and hope that I have the pleasure to interact with such extraordinary men. God Bless Our Troops!
