The St. John Gospel sums up a military chaplain’s calling best: “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13).

Going through such an experience helped Struecker remember this faith. He says, “I remember what my faith really means. I can go home to my family in Georgia, or I can go home to my father in heaven. I have nothing to fear.”

While there were plenty of stories of bravery and sacrifice in combat, it was these stories of speaking truth to power that left the deepest mark on me.

This was an AWESOME movie! Ive only seen one other movie about Military Chaplains in my life. This one was so thorough, I learned A LOT & I was a Military Chaplain for 23+ years! I will buy this movie & several copies for friends when it comes out on DVD, it was that good, with SO MUCH history!

Do not miss this movie! It is a beautifully- crafted tribute to our combat chaplains who risk their lives in battle to minister and guide soldiers fighting for our freedom. I was moved to tears numerous times. I am thankful this outstanding film was made. Kudos to all involved. The world needs more films like this.

We'll be adding the "Fighting Spirit" to our annual Veteran's Day movie watching. People tend to overlook the depth & breadth of our military chaplains' service on the front lines. They are the pastors to their troops, as a result they are exposed to various trauma. Thank you to Justin Roberts for your faithful service and sharing your story. God bless you and the memory of the Four Chaplains, Fr. Kapuan, Maj(Ret) Jeff Strueker, Garland White, and so many others we know now about.

Military service is tough. War is hell. Chaplains accompany us through both. This movie reflects that reality. Thanks for making it.
