Memorial Day: Honoring Heroism Through Film
Memorial Day , often associated with the unofficial start of summer , is more than just a day for pool parties and barbecues. It's a day of profound significance, dedicated to honoring and remembering the people of the armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. This day, observed on the last Monday of May, serves as a solemn reminder of the price of freedom and encourages us to reflect on the countless sacrifices made by soldiers throughout the rich tapestry of American history. Memorial Day can be celebrated in many ways, such as visiting the graves of fallen soldiers , participating in a national moment of remembrance , or engaging with the actual stories of soldiers throughout history. One powerful way these stories are told is through literature and films that capture the heroism, struggles, and camaraderie of those who served. We wanted to highlight the films Fallen Not Forgotten and Pearl Harbor: A Day of Infamy , currently streaming on TheArchive , beca
