Real Heroes: I Fought For You

Real Heroes: I Fought For You

This gripping patriotic short film is a moving tribute to our military past and present. It’s a very good example of our service members’ sense of honor and duty.

They are the real heroes!

“The American heroes are wearing camo. That’s not me.” ~ T.J. Oshie

To know the real value of Freedom, one must know the truth of the following statement “Some gave all while all gave some.” Christ gave his all to give you freedom and salvation. Likewise some men and women had to give all of themselves so that you and I can have the freedom we enjoy today. Reflect and be grateful. Look at the cross to what freedom costs. If you want people to get the chills, and instill a sense of pride in our country and military, this is the one! This gripping, patriotic film short is great to honor vets, remember the fallen and teach kids the price of their freedom.

Sam 'Sonny' Bryant The 70 Year Old Bodybuilder

Sam ‘Sonny’ Bryant, Jr.is from Georgia and has been bodybuilding for 27 years. He took up the sport at the age of 44 to relieve the stress of a painful marriage break up. 11 months later he entered his first competition and came in third. He works out twice a day and at night works as a forklift truck driver at personal-care emporium Kimberly-Clark. He says he’ll never retire: ‘More people die retired than people do working’

Age is nothing but a state of mind.

Are you lethargic, out of shape, and overweight? Do you feel that you are too tired and old to change anything in your life?

Well, let Sam ‘Sonny’ Bryan Jr. inspire you. Years ago he was 44 years old and didn’t know the first thing about lifting and exercise.

But he was in a bad place in life and decided to let off some steam at the gym.

Now, he’s 70 years old and can lift more than the young guys at his gym.

It’s never too late.
