Mercy, Love & Grace: The Story of Force Blue

Mercy, Love and Grace: The Story of Force Blue chronicles the nonprofit's first deployment to the Cayman Islands. It is the story of seven (7) Special Operations combat veterans…two U.S. Reconnaissance Marines, one Air Force Pararescueman, a Navy SEAL, an Army Green Beret, a British Royal Marine and one Combat Medic….each struggling with his own transition back to civilian life, coming together on a mission to preserve the planet and restore themselves.

It is the story of the marine scientists, environmentalists, therapists and filmmakers who, for two weeks, came to instruct them, but left having learned their own lessons about sacrifice and service.

In the end, Mercy, Love and Grace: The Story of Force Blue is the story of passionate people healing across the divide — and the magic that can still be conjured, even in these partisan times, when we are willing to become one team with one fight.
