I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day Weekends. I know a lot of charcoal is going on the grills and lots like to cook out this time of the year. We have a lot to be thankful for on Memorial Day and it’s a great time to honor all the troops that serve our country in wars of the past and for the current situations we have today. A big salute to all the service men and women and thank you!

You can enjoy your Monday by watching a lot of good war movies that will be coming on television. I”m not sure which movies will come on in your area, but you should find a good selection of older and modern movies based on our armed forces and the wars and conflicts from the earlier years. I love to sit back and watch them all and you can learn a little history by watching the Hollywood war movies. They sometimes make things look a little better than what they really was or at least that is what I hear.

Please let me know what your favorite war movies are or the ones based on our soldiers from the Army, Marines, Navy, and Air Force. Here are some good ones I have seen over the years and I give all of these war movies the medal of honor.
