This Monday in the U.S. is Memorial Day which is a day to honor the fallen soldiers of wars past and present. So therefore, we decided to dedicate this week's topic to those soldiers in film who live on in the big screen. Here are those we found to be particularly memorable. Share on your blog your soldierly choices, linking back here at The Bumbles. Spend your day thinking of or hugging a real life soldier, and don't forget to visit your fellow participants!
- Dear John (2010)-John Tyree played by Channing Tatum
- Flags of Our Fathers (2006)-John "Doc" Bradley played by Ryan Phillippe
- Saving Private Ryan (1998)-Pvt. James Francis Ryan played by Matt Damon
Something I'd like to share with my Movie Meme family is that right now at McDonalds, you can get codes for purchasing certain items (ours have been chicken mcnuggets and Shrek glasses) that you can redeem online and chose your reward. One of the choices is a free movie rental, which gives you a code to 1 free night from the redbox. Also, if you sign up for an account at their website, you can enroll to receive 1 free code at the 1st of each month.

I have not seen Flags of our Fathers yet - but I read the book and it impacted me very strongly. Such incredible men.
