If you haven't seen "Last Ounce of Courage," it's worth your time to go see it. It's a very patriotic movie about taking a stand for the Christian faith and for freedom in America.
The story takes place in a small town, where Christmas has been over-commercialized and the town's leaders are afraid to display the traditional Christmas symbols anymore for fear of a lawsuit. It takes the town's mayor standing up and fighting for religious freedom for the town to restore Christmas to its true meaning — a celebration of the birth of Jesus.
The movie is really about every town in America. We're seeing it happen more and more. In schools, Christmas holiday has become "Winter Holiday," and kids can't even sing Christmas carols at school anymore. In stores, employees are told not to say "Merry Christmas," and many towns don't have the courage to put up manger scenes — or even a Christmas tree — because they're afraid of "offending" someone.
"Last Ounce of Courage" shows us we still have a right to celebrate Christmas and to put the focus back where it belongs — on Jesus! It should remind us all to take a stand in support of our beliefs.
Marshall Teague, who plays the town's mayor in the movie, said in an article we should be proud of America's founding values and stand up for our freedoms of expression.
He says, "Brave men and women have unfortunately lost their lives to defend our freedom. You have the right to religious freedom, the freedom to speak your mind. When that is taken away, what have you got?"
Our freedoms are quickly disappearing in America. We must take them back. Freedom is worth fighting for, even if it takes our "last ounce of courage!"
I'll have to look for this movie!! Sounds good!!
