My son was stationed at Ft. Dix getting erady to be deployed to Iraq when this movie was being made and was an extra in the movie. Woody Harrelson was actually really nice to my son and actually had him sit nex to him in on eof the cafeteria scenes. I wanted to let Woody Harrelson know that my son was to Iraq in July and on Aug 28 was in his Humvee when it was hit by an IED. He was injured and sent to Walter Reed for 3 months. His name is Brian.

I sure hope your son is all right! God bless the military and all those brave enough to serve!

Looking forward to the movie, as well.

I do hope your son Brian is doing better. Too many of our soldiers are being hurt by IEDs, it seems to be the biggest reason for injuries.
