I know I’m a couple of days late in writing this but I’ve just been really busy lately. So this past Thursday November 11 was Remembrance Day, and the one thing I love about that day is the abundance of war movies and shows on TV. My all time favorites are Saving Private Ryan, the Band of Brothers miniseries as well as The Pacific miniseries. I know that we are supposed to be sombre and respectful, but I cant resist some good war movies. Its my way of being appreciative of the veterans by understanding their experiences, both emotional and physical. Thats what I love about the aforementioned programs, they’re remarkably accurate and have brilliant battle scenes yet they don’t ignore the mental toll the wars have on soldiers. The beauty of these films is that they will allow a whole new generation of children understand what the veterans went through. These films are timeless to me and they will help me to never forget the sacrifices that Canadians made to keep this a free country.
