I was impressed with the actual filming on Guam, the allowed use of base property, DOD personnel, and aircraft (Navy and Air Force)- that lent, to me, an extra level of realism/belief in the message of this movie. Yes, a standard Christmas feel good message with cheesy romance thrown in. But,.... I saw in the movie the message that all military feel when stationed abroad and away from their homes and family---- camaraderie and coming together in support and help of each other and their local community. I appreciate the movie for its message of the true story of assistance provided by USAF in the actual Operation Christmas Drop.
