EXPERIENCE THE MOST LETHAL SNIPER IN
U.S. HISTORY WHEN
AMERICAN SNIPER
ARRIVES ONTO BLU-RAY COMBO PACK, DVD and DIGITAL HD ON May 19, 2015 FROM
WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT 

SYNOPSIS

From director Clint Eastwood comes “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, whose skills as a sniper made him a hero on the battlefield. But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter. 



Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield, and as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.” However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world.




Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the spirit of the SEAL creed to “leave no one behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.

Warner Brothers is offering to the readers of my blog a copy (BlueRay Combo Pack) of American Sniper. You can enter to win the copy down below. Also, remember, if you don't win the copy here, when you buy your own copy, $1.00 of the purchase will go to the Wounded Warrior Project. Purchase at  amazon.com.

Here is why I decided to host this giveaway on my blog. This message came to me that said, 
"Clint Eastwood’s Oscar-nominated adaptation of Chris Kyle’s autobiography is moving and meaningful filmmaking, depicting the heroism of both the service member in combat and the family left stateside. It is not an easy film to watch, given its subject matter, but it is, I believe, an essential film to watch to help us better understand the cost, to those on the battlefield and on the home front, of the freedoms we hold so dear."

American Soldiers mean so much to me as both my father(The Korean War) and grandfather(World War II) were members of the US Army. So I'm proud to help with this very worthy cause.Let me know in the comments if you or a loved one was or is a USA service member.

  1. Hi! Yes, I come from a military family.There is a long line of soldiers clear back to the American Revolutionary War. My g'pa was a serviceman, as was my dad, my older brother (trained as a SEAL in fact), and my step dad served as well. I am thankful to those that have served do serve, will serve and the families that stand behind them and support them through it all.
