Long Until Gone (2011)
Noble work
I was happy to see a real soldier (Alex Kruz) with real pain do this video to help support the charity "Treat Any Soldier". I found myself in that bunker with that soldier and just reliving my time in the field away from my family, away from civilization, in the middle of nowhere, thinking when my time may come, thinking about the guys I knew, and those I heard of being killed or injured by roadside bombs in Iraq by "our friends". The threat of an unseen enemy is more dangerous sometimes than one with a face. I think we all have our private moments in the field when that pain fills us and it was beautiful to see it captured on film and with a real soldier. That pain and joy were beautifully captured in such a clear and brief period. That's good acting! I loved it. As a fellow veteran I thank you for your service and for your work for veteran's charities, and more importantly for so properly illustrating our pains and joys.
Kind regards, Simon
