They are men of honor, and they are men deserving of being honored....always.

Heart breaking and heart warming all at the same time. The pain of loosing some one special and also seeing the respect they so deserve being shown. Gob bless all those and their families who protect our freedom and serve our country.

Thank you for sharing that. Honestly I don't know much about him or his story, other than he was the real deal. How accurate is the movie?

Cool story. I really enjoyed his book.

However, he did not donate 100% of the book proceeds so I can't help but wonder if anything else in the story (the post, not his book) is inaccurate.

From everything I've seen, read and heard the post was pretty spot on. The donation part may be off, but that's more likely an error on the part of the original author.

Personally (sadly) I cannot wait to see the movie. I've seen Chris' wife in three live interviews now and she really impressed me. Though it also magnified the tragedy of this valuable asset 'we' lost.
