AMERICAN SNIPER SYNOPSIS
From director Clint Eastwood comes “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, whose skills as a sniper made him a hero on the battlefield.
But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter.
Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield, and as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.” However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world.
Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the spirit of the SEAL creed to “leave no one behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.

Mom Maven’s Thoughts
This movie doesn’t hold back on the realities of war. The language, the sets, the heart and the split-second decision making necessary to be a sniper are all portrayed in this film. What I liked about the film was how it also showed what the military family who is left behind struggles with as well. It was a well-rounded movie that shows us that our real heroes wear camouflage and risk their lives daily for our freedom.
After you watch the movie, watch the bonus features. They give wonderful insight into the tedious process that went into making this movie. The story changed after Chris’ murder, there was no longer a happy ending for the Kyle family. While this film is not appropriate for those under the age of 18, I do hope you will watch it and be reminded to pray for our service men and women every day.
As a part of this promotion, I received a copy of the Blu-ray combo pack to give away to a veteran. Since I know too many veterans and i can’t decide who to give it to, I am donating this copy to the local VFW post so that they can share it with their members.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT so they do not have to stress about finding jobs
I Like The ENGAGEMENT Program, It Keeps Them Connected And Offers Resources.
I am most interested in the economic enpowerment section of the wounded warriors project. Thanks for the giveaway. I hope that I win.
The engagement program interests me the most because I like that veterans are getting out there and continuing their lives.

The economic empowerment program is very important to the veteran and his family.
I think support for the Mind is important, because those are the wounds that are not visible, but the ones that can hurt the most.
I like the ENGAGEMENT. I think it’s important to stay connected and no verteran should ever feel alone in the world.
I like the warriors to work program. I hate when vets can’t find jobs and the government won’t help. It’s important to get vets working if they are able to.
i like the economic empowerment program
Project Odyssey. It helps work through challenges related to combat stress and improve mental attitudes and outlook.
All of the Wounded Warrior projects are amazing. I think the ones that focus on the mind are most important, though. Problems that nobody can see, but letting the people know they can talk about it, is huge!

Wounded Warriors is an amazing organization. I like the engagement side of it, because I think it’s easy to come home and not know how to fit in to life.
I am most interested in the Mind Program because so much focus is on healing the body but many soldiers need help healing their mind as well.
The ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM interests me because it’s important for service members to keep in touch with each other. They have formed strong bonds and need this service.
I like the ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT…because it gives them the tools they need to succeed!
The economic engagement is great because so many veterans are overlooked when they are searching for work.

The Combat Stress Recovery Program interests me because it offers both in person (Project Odyssey) and online (Restore Warriors) readjustment support. It sounds like a very comprehensive way to help.
The program for mind interests me the most because it’s important to cover the mental health issues and relationship issues for these people. It resonates with me because mental health issues run in my family.
