It has been so encouraging to receive the overwhelmingly positive responses and reviews of Travis: A Soldier’s Story from soldiers, veterans, nurses, doctors and family members of soldiers and veterans. We are proud to support SSG Travis Mills’s story and in doing so supporting all who are a part of the community of our wounded warriors, their families, veterans and our active soldiers and families who are in the service. Thank you for supporting this film and continuing to share his story!
Our family watched this movie as a way to commemorate Memorial Day and show respect for those that have served our country. This is a must watch. God Bless American and God Bless our veterans and military persons!

Technically, it’s not a Memorial Day story, but I’m posting it anyway, because I can’t think of a single day when it would be inappropriate to shine a light on Travis. Moreover, I’m going to encourage all of you to watch the documentary about Travis’s unbelievable life, just released on Netflix. Bias aside, this documentary is shockingly good, profoundly inspirational, and really important to see. I won’t say it’s mandatory, because I know how annoying it is to be told what to do. But if I were King of the World, I’d make every network run this film 24/7 until everyone in the country had seen it. (Yes, I’d be that kind of King.) The trailer is posted below. Give it a look, and then watch the movie. You can thank me later.

I watched this with my family last night (including kids age 10 and 12). It is a great family-friendly and inspiring account of Travis and the limitless benefits of perseverance, hard work and a good attitude. Highly recommend! Thank you for working on this project Travis; sharing your story is a continuation of your selfless service to our country.

Just watched, and man – you had me crying and then laughing. You are a true inspiration, Travis. This was one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. The support system you had was incredible, and now you’re helping others. Incredible. Thank you for your service, humor, and incredible courage.

I just finished watching it on Netflix. A deeply moving, raw journey of how God’s gift of a powerful will to not only survive, but to truly live and embrace life. Travis, you and your family are truly blessed. You are all heart ❤️! Thank you for serving and protecting our country and the innocent people of war torn countries.

My husband and I just saw this last week and it was phenomenal. That night I bought his book, Tough As They Come, and finished it last night. I am so thankful you guys made the movie and now that I know who you are I can look forward to more positive viewing opportunities. It seems society in general is spiraling out of control and the focus is on all the wrong things. I am glad to find some folks who are focused on the positive that comes out of tough situations. I can’t wait to see The Selwa Mitchell Story and The Luckiest Man. And pretty much everything else you do if it’s as well done and inspiring as Travis’s story. 🙂

Every American should watch this and think about what sacrifices have been made and continue to be made by our soldiers. The spirit of this American hero is beyond inspiring. Freedom is not free.

It was such an inspiring story!! So beautiful.

I don’t know if Travis himself will see this but I just wanted to share what a joy it was to watch this film. I got pretty emotional a couple of times, and not because I’m a girl 😀 but because of his beautiful spirit and that of his wife, Kelsey. As soon as I finished the movie I bought Tough As They Come and just finished it last night and am truly sad it is over. If he ever decides to write another book I will be one of the first to buy it. I have had some tough times in my life (I’m 45 now so I have some road behind me) and, while mostly optimistic in nature, I live with anxiety and depression which can put a damper in things. I love Travis’s upbeat attitude and the point blank way he sees things. Very refreshing in a time when people in general seem to be a great deal confused on a lot of things. I have shared some short passages to my friends and family here on FB or in conversation, trying to encourage folks and to tell them to buy the book. 🙂 Anyway, as an army veteran and a human being I want to thank Travis, Kelsey and their families for sharing their lives with us in both the film and the book and for their efforts with the Travis Mills Foundation…. Hooah!

This is on Netflix now! If you haven’t seen this or heard Travis’s story…WATCH IT!! I heard stories from Stephen, my son in law, about what a great person Travis is and how he kept the guys laughing while they were in Afghanistan. Now he is an inspiration to everyone he comes in contact with and he is still making people laugh with his humor! What an incredible man! I had the pleasure of meeting Travis and I couldn’t be more in awe of his strength, courage, and perseverance!
