MWSA Film Review

Military Salute – In Honor of America’s Military Past and Present

Produced by: Jeff Seeber and the Minnesota Platoon

Reviewer: Bill McDonald – President of the MWSA

A Patriotic Tribute to the Military and to 9/11 that is both Emotional and Spiritual

There are some things that still move me to tears (Yes, old veterans do still cry and have emotions but mostly in private.) like the movie “Brian’s Song” or “Old Yeller” but this simple and loving tribute DVD that Jeff Seeber put together will move a mountain to tears! “Military SaluteIn Honor of America’s Military Past and Present” is the best inspiring 34 minutes you will find in any movie.

Jeff is a service–connected disabled Navy veteran who has taken slides, film clips, music, and text and weaved them together in a spiritual and emotional sequence that has lots of energy and power. He takes viewers through the various branches of the Military with slides and music. Hearing the USMC Hymn played with a slide show of Marines in action or watching and listening to the Air Force theme music with jets in the skies or listening to “Anchors away my boys…” while viewing the ships and men of the US Navy is heady stuff. The nice part of all of this is that Jeff has been giving this work away for years. He doesn’t make a cent from this project and does it all out of love for his country and for those who have served.

There is a playing of Taps and Amazing Grace on bag pipes that is coordinated with slides of military funerals and such that is the most moving of all.

It is just not the military who are honored as the DVD also shows us the 9/11 attacks on New York’s World Trade Center. The film includes our present war in Iraq as well.

Seeber has played this DVD on several TV stations to rave reviews. He gives this DVD away on his website where you can download it for free. He also distributes copies at events like the MWSA’s own San Diego “Salute to the Military."

His work is an unselfish act of pure patriotism and love for his fellow veterans. We are grateful for all that he has done for so many. This DVD gets the MWSA’s highest rating for a DVD – FIVE STARS! This is professional quality and worth viewing many times. I would recommend that veteran groups get a copy to share and show at their meetingsit is that good.
