It is highlighted that the 62-year-old star of the "Top Gun" films was personally recognized by U.S. Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro. From his hands, Cruise received a medal - coincidentally, with a blue and yellow ribbon.

In 1986, after the release of the first part of the Cold War ace duology "Top Gun," the U.S. Navy experienced such a significant increase in volunteers that recruitment stations were even set up in theaters. The 2022 sequel also sparked a surge of interest in military service.
