In doing research for my book, Number 181
(grab a copy here!), and during preparations for the GORUCK Challenge, I've spent a good deal of time around the men and women of our armed forces. In that time, I heard about the film Act of Valor in development. The latest trailer is available at
the film's website, and it's a really great piece of cinema. Starring
active duty Navy SEALs, the film is inspired by actual events and SEAL missions.
For those that considered
The Hurt Locker to be a somewhat inaccurate representation of real-time, battlefield events, this film should be a welcome diversion and an excellent explanation for why I am donating proceeds from Number 181 to the Green Beret Foundation.
