Wow..really powerful stuff. Amazing film guys, great work. Anybody heard of Hell and Back Again by chance? It's a documentary I saw recently that touches on all the same issues. It follows a platoon of Marines into Afghanistan then back home with one of them when he gets injured. If you enjoyed this film I think you'll really appreciate it. It's actually up for the best doc Oscar too. hellandbackagain(dot)com

This documentary should make every American so darn proud. Our wounded warriors demonstrate resilience every hour of every day and we can/should learn from them.

I don't think there's a better storyteller than Jay Lavender to help viewers see and feel the challenges and triumphs of our wounded warriors.

God bless our nation and, especially, our men and women in uniform!
