Act of Valor - Staring Real Life Navy SEALs

As we all know, I am married into the military.

Marc being National Guard, I have so much respect for him and his "brothers."  The military is a family in its own and the fact that I am part of it, I am very proud of.

That being said, there is a new movie coming out and you know I will be telling you about it.

Have you heard of Act of Valor?

As soon as I heard of it, I knew it was going to be one that I wanted to see.

Why?  Because I like seeing how our military is portrayed, and because I like telling others about it, so that if they do not personally have military connections, they might see a glimpse into what all goes on.

Now, some of it is totally absurd and you can tell it is all fake... but others are right on.

We had the chance to watch Act of Valor and I really liked it.

It isn't one that you can say "oh, it was a great movie!" but it is one that lets you see what really goes on and how things really happen.  No, not a breach of security or anything, but it does let you see how things go.

I am not going to give anything away, but it starts with the NAVY SEALs and their family enjoying time together.. just like most families.. Then, we follow them on a CIA mission.

The thing about this movie?  

It stars actual real life Navy Seals along with actors!  

Here is the synopsis:
