Corazón de Invictus

Orlando von Einsiedel and his team have done it again. The White Helmets documentary won an Oscar for Orlando in 2016. You will find all that great film making and storytelling talent here. The six international soldiers stories are poignant and inspirational and complex. It is impressive how the Invictus Games use sport as a way to not only rebuild and re-engage physically but build community with true social friendships and supports. It also clearly lifts up families. It is clear why the Invictus Games has been a huge success. Kudos Prince Harry for being a catalyst in making this happen. This is great viewing regardless if you know someone in the military. It is something we all should see. To all the Invictus Games participants; good luck you are amazing.

I beg you, PLEASE do not bypass the heroic stories of these five veterans with injuries seen and unseen. No spoilers here, but if you can watch all five episodes and your takeaway is still how much you hate Prince Harry, you have a heart of stone. It can be very hard to watch but push through it. The smiles are worth it. You will laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. If you love a veteran you owe it to yourself, and them, to watch this series. I promise. It will do your heart good!

Unfortunately, a hot war rears its ugly head. The invasion of Ukraine and the impact it has on one of our heroes and her family driving home the helplessness families feel and how they too are in service to their country.

Do yourself a favor. Watch this series.

I love all these vets stories especially Gabe and Darrell's. These brave men and women are the true definition of heroes. I am so proud of them all and also the families and friends that came out and sacrificed so much to show their love and support for their love ones. Wishing all the men and women the very best of luck in the upcoming Invictus Games in Germany next month. I am hoping to see Gabe, Darrell, Tom, Na and the members of the Ukraine team in Germany so I too can be able to root for them. I am especially looking forward to see Anna and her mother as well. Sending love and prayers to you all.

To keep going when you feel you have lost everything that makes you who you think you are, THAT takes courage. These stories of these men and women are incredibly raw and inspiring. Prince Harry's love and sincerity as he strives to find a way to do service to his comrades, to help them for a new identity is Riviting. Wonderful series! Never is the spotlight anywhere but it exactly where it needs to be: on the soldiers. We see their challenges, their massive hearts as they work to recreate joy and purpose in their lives, in the lives of their families. Well worth one's time to watch. We will watch again!

Watching this documentary is so eye opening to these men and women who have been injured give their all is encouraging. I hope they all heal well lovely series.

Shoutout to Prince Harry and his team for working and having the patience with the veterans whilst shooting this documentary.

Lovely a must watch Also remember to support the veterans in your country and community.

As I watch and see the support the family and support team give I can't imagine what they go through at home caring for their spouse and parents especially when they're having an attack it seems gut wrenching but hope is not lost.
