The box office hit American Sniper was a rare movie. One we don’t see too often nowadays. It showed America’s heroes in a very real and very proud way. With no politically correct message to infect it, the film gave honor to the U.S. troops that protect and defend.

Bradley Cooper played one hero in particular, Chris Kyle, the world’s deadliest sniper.

That an A-list actor would take on a film that helped up America and her troops to such a tremendous degree isn’t something we get to see too much of these days. The nation applauded Cooper’s role as Kyle within the movie, but Cooper did something else that caught me off guard.

During the MTV Movie Awards, Bradley Cooper won Best Male Actor for his role as Chris Kyle, and when he accepted the award he took a moment to talk about Kyle in a touching tribute to one of America’s greatest fallen heroes.

Once again, Cooper has demonstrated his appreciation for the men and women at arms in service of the U.S. military, something that many of the Hollywood elite are hesitant to do.

Aside from his excellent portrayal of Kyle, Cooper has also joined with the cause “Got Your 6,” which encourages Hollywood to become more involved with veterans and their stories when it comes to military movies. Hopefully, thanks to actions by Cooper, this won’t be the last time we see a movie like American Sniper.
