My husband and I saw it this past weekend. Sold out theater, quiet and respectful audience thru the very end. Lots of sniffling...I had to run to the restroom to bawl privately. So humbled by those who go into the fight for all of us. I am retired USAF but I was in a medical support career field so I was never at risk like those wariors. But my retired USAF dad—aircraft maintenance, my retired USN naval aviator husband, and my now deployed (3rd time) USAF stepson—munitions specialist—all three of these special men in my life have been so close to the fire and lived to serve another day by the grace of God that I have nothing but respect and appreciation for men like Chris Kyle and the missions they take on. Heroes all in my opinion.God bless all of our military and their families.
Your services are every bit as valuable as theirs! Medical support? Very needed. Everyone that does any job in the military is as valuable as those who are on the front line, you may not take the risk of getting shot but in your case, you may have been in a position to help those that were injured.
My husband was in a mechanic crew in Viet Nam, without his specialized training, who knows, someone’s truck could have broken down and put them in a very bad position depending where that happened. All are needed and almost all of those of us who did not serve extend our appreciation to ALL our service men and women.
I find it interesting you had to go to the restroom to “bawl privately”. Friend of ours said his wife left the theater after 45 minutes and went home (they are just a few blocks from theater). I asked Mr. OG why she left, he said “I don’t know, probably too much violence”. Now I think otherwise.
Mr. OG has not gone to movie in at least over 10 years, me about 8 but we plan to go to this one - after the crowds have cleared out.
