Check out Act Of Valor
If you haven't yet checked out Act of Valor, definitely take some time to see it. Not only are the special effects awesome, many of the characters in the film are played by actual servicemen. This film is a great combination between old school family values and a reminder of just how much happens behind the scenes to keep us protected day in and day out. When you see a person making the ultimate sacrifice on your behalf, you can't help but be immensely grateful. There aren't many movies that come along with such an awesome combination. So definitely see this one in theaters before it's too late.
