One of the cable networks has been running We Were Soldiers this week. It's a great movie and I can't think of a better one to show on veteran's day. If you've never seen it, go rent it. Not only is it a great war movie but it also shows the pain and struggles of the soldiers and their families...and it's a true story. Be prepared to cry like a baby.
LZ XRay provides the historical information behind the story.
