December 15, 2009 at 3:21PM EST Reply to CommentBecause I'm a student of military history, I am anxious to see the new movie about American soldiers in Iraq. My favorite WWII movie is Saving Private Ryan, primarily because of my father's service during that war. You can read more about Dad at this website: http://www.asalutetopatriotism.com
