A combat wounded Marine reviews our short film Birthday. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just watched Birthday. It was beautiful and most importantly real. You were able to capture so many parts of his story. I cant describe my favorite because there were so many. Although I have all my limbs I could relate with the relationship part. My wife is so much more than just my wife. Its hard to explain but you were able to show it. Only some can truly understand it. You showed the pain that is constantly there. It never goes away but its up to us to decide how it controls our life. The part in the end where Chris helps others at the end. That is why I do what I do. Helping other vets is what has kept my alive. Im glad you didnt over dramatize the combat scene and that you kept it short. We all know what its like and that isnt the important part. Fighting, getting hurt, thats the easy part. You showed what the real challenge is. Coming home. I have to admit every time I saw Chris cry I cried and I just wanted to hug him and tell him its ok. We are still warriors. I hope you continue to share stories like this. - Steven Diaz, USMC (ret.)
