The Ground Truth is probably the best documentary I have seen on the costs borne by our troops due to their service in Iraq and Afghanistan. I recommend that everyone buy a copy of this movie as it helps to reward the filmmaker, supports Operation Helmet, and helps to spread the word that it takes more to support the troops than mouthing a slogan, and displaying a yellow ribbon. Take some time to think about that as you spend time with your family this Easter Sunday!
