Who We Are
Jason Hall (writer, American Sniper) is directing a movie he wrote for Steven Spielberg and Amblin Partners entitled Thank You For Your Service, based on the book by David Finkel. The story follows a group of U.S. soldiers returning from Iraq who struggle to integrate back into family and civilian life, coping with the memory of a war that threatens to destroy them long after they’ve left the battlefield.

Our Request of You
Jason would like to honor the memory of service men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country, including those who have died in combat or by suicide. Should you choose to participate, we will display your loves one’s name on a dog tag featured in the film alongside other fallen heroes. The image is meant to memorialize their lives and pay tribute to the service they gave to our country. We are accepting veterans of all U.S. engagements over the last century. Additionally, if you would like us to feature your veteran’s picture on a Wall of Honor in the film’s VA, please also include a military portrait of your loved one in uniform.
