Commentary
Independence Day is an opportunity to celebrate the liberties we enjoy here in the United States of America. Those liberties were not given to us. They were earned by patriots who gladly laid down their lives for their beloved country. A beautiful way to remind ourselves of this every day is to watch movies celebrating the sacrifice of soldiers in more recent struggles. Some of the best war films ever made are about World War II, many of them produced during the duration. I recently was introduced to “Pride of the Marines” from 1945, which was based on a true story.
