AFL GETS A RAVE IN IRAQ

In the photo, standing in extraordinary heat of the desert, Captain Matthew Stern and Lt. Col. F. Lee Reynolds hold a DVD copy of ALL FOR LIBERTY sent to Iraq.
Lee Reynolds was a writer, director and actor with Actors' Theater of SC years ago and has been in the movie business in LA for many years. He was in WE WERE SOLDIERS and AN AMERICAN CAROL and stage managed stunt shows for UNIVERSAL STUDIOS as well as helping soldiers get work in the industry.

Lee was deployed to Iraq recently. His unit is the 222nd Broadcast Operations Detachment from Los Angeles, CA but in Iraq they make up the American Forces Network-Iraq, AFN-Iraq for short in Baghdad. Please hold good thoughts and prayers for these guys.

Below is Lee's response to the movie after seeing it. It's great to see another rave!

Hey Chris and Clarence,

WOW, Bravo, Awesome...HOOAH!! I just watched the movie and I'm soooo impressed. Congratulations, it looks and sounds fantastic!! You did a great job on this. I was so into it from the beginning to the end. On every level I can think of, it was a tight, enticing and entertaining film - Good plot and characters, great visuals and sound, excellent acting and all the historical pieces were so real and accurate. I truly understand why you are winning awards. I hope you can get it into the next GI Film Festival, it really deserves to be there.
Congratulations again!!
F. Lee Reynolds
