Tonight on Special Report, Bret Baier had a piece on about the GI Film Festival, which highlights films and movies that show true heroism and courage of our military men and women, unlike most Hollywood entries into the genre.

From their website:

The GI Film Festival (GIFF) is the first film festival in the nation to exclusively celebrate the successes and sacrifices of the American military through the medium of film. The three-day festival will be held on May 26-28, 2007 , Memorial Day Weekend, in Washington , DC , at the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center . The GIFF will present films from new and established international and domestic filmmakers that honor the heroic stories of the American Armed Forces and the worldwide struggle for freedom and liberty. Some of the films screened will be fan favorites. Others will be screened for the first time. All will in some way express the courage and selflessness of our fighting men and women and the value of their work.

I just wish I could have attended. We need more festivals like this; celebrating America and not tearing her down.
