In honor of Memorial Day, I wanted to re-run a 2-year old post, about The Fighting Sullivans. This 1944 tearjerker tells the story of a real-life Iowa family, who lost all 5 sons when their submarine went down in the Pacific. Watching this film is a Memorial Day tradition for our family. It's a great reminder that the freedoms we enjoy today were bought at an enormous cost---the lives of men and women.
If you've never seen The Fighting Sullivans, I highly recommend it. HERE is the link to my 2012 review of the film.
Happy viewing...and Happy Memorial Day!
