Home of the Brave is a 2006 drama film following the lives of four Army National Guard soldiers in Iraq and their return to the United States. The film was shot in Morocco and in Spokane, Washington. Shortly after learning their unit will soon return home, American soldiers LTC William Marsh , SGT Vanessa Price , SPC Tommy Yates , SPC Jamal Aiken and PVT Jordan Owens are sent on a final humanitarian mission to bring medical supplies to a remote Iraqi village. On the way they are caught in an ambush by insurgents. The forward vehicles of the convoy are trapped in the narrow street where they... are forced to fight the attackers. The rear vehicles manage to escape the initial barrage by taking a side-street, only to be met with an improvised explosive device hidden in the carcass of a dead dog. SGT Vanessa Price, a driver, is seriously wounded, having been somewhat protected from the blast by her front seat passenger who is instantly killed. While pursuing the young boys who left the bomb along with other attackers, a recruit soldier in their team is shot and killed.
