Watching Saving Private Ryan, reduces me to tears at various points in the movie, every single time.
I can't help but watch it, every single time it comes on.
If for no other reason, to honor the memory of those who sacrificed everything.
The end, at the grave, reduces me to tears every single times.

Indeed.
"Tell me I'm a good Man."
Gets me every single time. Without fail.
More to come.
Greatest Generation indeed.
Never seen the movie so I can't say.
Ricci, you are missing out.
One of the (withought a doubt) top 5 movies ever made.
You need to see it.
I've got Veteran Buddies that refuse to watch it.
It is very realistic.
Anyone who thinks there is Glory in War, should watch this.
ricci watch it, do not expect full metal jacket or platoon style but much better all the way around
Can't bring myself to watch it again.
Dad was a medic in the ETO and saw first hand most of what you see on the screen. He would not speak of it except on rare occasions. Many of his friends were there also and some didn't come back. Dad passed away before the movie came out. I knew most of his friends too and I can see them when I watch the movie. They were all affected terribly by the experience. I can not watch the movie any more. I see my Dad and his friends when I watch it. Too much emotion.
+1 my dad was medic also, in battle of bulge, and helped liberate a couple prison camps, he didn't talk about it either till the last night, we were at my uncles who was a marine in pacific, they sat and talked about the war past midnight, dad died in his sleep that night, I wish I had sat out on the porch and listened to all of the stories.
Absolutely disturbing..
The Real Thing is immeasurably, relentlessly, paralyzingly#8203; worse.
There's an expression about seeing the Elephant, and how if you hadn't; there's a good chance that you never would, due to those that had.
It's a shame that more personal experiences never get to be unloaded/shared with Family by the ever dwindling number of Veterans from that era; I used to golf with my Pop & his Brother, who both went Navy. One got Pacific, t'other got ETO.
When they did talk about it, kraut & jap seemed to be interchangeable in a lot of the events. They both agreed that it was necessary, but then Korea flamed up, then another & etc.
