Movie Quote

"Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home." 
                                                                                      — Act of Valor.

I thought the little paragraph above was worth repeating. Particularly like the last sentence. I watched the movie recently, & liked it. It was intense, realistic, & a bit of a tear jerker. Live rounds were used during production. Part of the film was shot digitally on a Canon Eos 5d mk2, saving big $. One of the coolest things about the film, is that actual, active-duty US Navy SEALs & SWCC were used. Channing Moss, one of the actors & Navy SEALs inspired the RPG survival in the film. While on duty & in action, Moss was hit by an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) on the left side of his body & it extended out of his skin on the right side, though miraculously the RPG did not explode. Surgeons removed the RPG without it going off. Moss was awarded the purple heart.

    1. Hey soooo sorry for the delayed reply Marbin! ;) Yeah, it was a good movie and reminder. We should always try to wisely use the provisions and gifts God gives us. Life is short... It did make me appreciate the brave men who go out and fight to protect our country.
