Some great movies you might want to checkout over the weekend:
We Were Soldiers
Patton (1970)
Saving Private Ryan
The Longest Day (1962)
Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)
Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)
Other Memorial Day Movies
Let me know if you have some favorite Memorial Day quotes, websites, movies, or music...lots of great music out there germane to this holiday, from Sousa to Cohan; but if you get an opportunity to listen to that great hymn, Mansions in the Sky from the movie, We Were Soldiers and immortalized at President Reagan's funeral, I think you'll agree it may be the quintessential Memorial Day Song of our time (you can hear it here and see the lyrics as well)...don't miss it!.
