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.
