This flick is making the rounds at the film festivals. Not a bad story line about a young boy who discovers his grandpa's WWII footlocker and insists that he be told the story about its contents: as the kid says' "It's Memorial Day, what am I supposed to remember." Check the trailer out on battlebook.com

Too bad the link is to facebook, which requires you to have an account to view.

The Facebook link allows anyone to view content without having to join, but those wishing to contribute or reply need to have an account – just like most blogs. MEMORIAL DAY is a moving tribute to veterans so keep an eye out for the film in your local area.

I hope this isn't politcal drivil. I'm sick of the typical Hollywood 'Soldier as Victim' meme that any modern war movie tends to use.

I like that James Cromwell's son is playing him as a young man in WW II in the movie. I thought they had just made him up to appear young since the resemblance (and the voice!) was so striking, but John Cromwell is listed in the credits so I have to assume it's his son.

From the thread title I was hoping for a WW2 Iraq film. It would have been great to see some inter/early war planes and Rolls Royce armoured cars on the screen. How disappointing.
