Have watched several of above mentioned movies, and enjoying them all. Just wish none of them had to have happened. Hope people remember the true meaning of this day, other than what a lot of people think of as first day of lake season……. Thanks to all veterans, and may the ones lost, rest in piece.

Memorial Day is to honor those that paid the ultimate price..
This is casualty list of the Men in my Unit that made that ultimate sacrifice.
1. Carl Alexander 19 2. Ralph Barcelona 21 3. William Bauer 22 4. Rex Blisard 19 5. Charles "Bam-Bam" Briddell 24 6. Earnie L Burgamy 20 7. Lester Danchetz 20 8. Thomas Danowski 27 9. James Delaney 20 10, David Dickman 21 11. Danny Dodd 24 12. Ignacio "Pineapple" Duro 20 13. George Fischer 23 14. Michael "Doc Trip" Fontaine 18 15. Joe Grayson 25 16. Ronald Groves 20 17. Edward Griggs III 20 18. Scott Hamilton 21 19. Brad Hartman 19 20. Garry Hayes 20 21. Bernard Hitro 20 22. Robert Howell 20 23. John "Whitey" Kocak 23 24. Robert Maddox 23 25. Gabriel Madrid 23 26. John McAndrews 20 27. Randy Oliver 20 28. William Pahr Jr. 26 29. Kenneth Prejean 22 30. William Riggs 20 31. Allan Schmidt 20 32. Alan J Smith 22 33. James Spurley 20 34. John Stewart 19 35. Jerry Stout 20 36. Howard Thomas 20 37. Albert Whittle 20 38. Gregory B Whitmore 20 39. Huey Williams 25 40. James Woodworth 25 41. Russell Woollard 20
There were about 120 men in an Infantry Company when at full strength. That rarely happens. But using that figure 1 out of 3 paid the ultimate price.
Unil we meet again on Fiddler's Green. RIP Garry Owens

Very good choices, I would add The Pacific to the list, and Band of Brothers also. Maybe more of a series instead of movies, but worth the mention.
