Once a Marine, always a Marine. Great job on the film, Jake, hope to see more of you on the big screen. You're what Hollywood needs to open the doors for the disabled.

Especially with the war going on, there are many returning soldiers that have been incapacitated by mines and injuries. Through this film, I hope that more people can return to the real world and apply their respect and awe to real-life soldiers just as they did while watching "Avatar".
