Has anyone else seen this movie yet? Colin and I went to see "Flags of our Fathers" tonight and it was good.
It is goodOriginally Posted by crittermom
Shawn wants to see it really bad!!! It looked pretty good to me.I'll have to tell him you saw it and it IS good.
Yes, it's about Iwo Jima....but a large part of it is about 3 troops that come back to the US after the "flag picture" was taken...I don't wanna go into more detail for those who haven't seen it yet, but it is pretty goodOriginally Posted by Moz
Is that the movie about Iwo Jima or has something to do with it?Or am I thinking of a totally different movie?

Ohh I love those movies!! Also- I'm addicted to Band of Brothers- it's got to be one of the best war series i've ever seen.....it is soooooo incredable! I would recommend it to anyone- it really covers sooooooooo many aspects of WWII and really give you insight of what it was like for the soldiers. It's incredable. I think everyone should see the entire Band of Brothers series at least onceOriginally Posted by crittermom
I LOVED Saving Private Ryan,Full Metal Jacket,Platoon!! So, I'm sure I'd love this one too.
Definitely get him Band of Brothers if you're able to- that's one series I'll guarente you he will LOVEOriginally Posted by crittermom

I want to see it (searching for a date). My dad was on Iwo Jima (won't talk about it though) and I have the book reserved at the library.
The only thing that my pops will say, about his WWII experiences, is that he hauled a BAR all over those islands and that his top sergeant and lieutenant had to pry it out of his hands, at the end of the war. Considering the casualties, suffered by the Marines, he's lucky to have come through Iwo Jima and Okinawa, without so much as a scratch.Originally Posted by theimp98

I had one uncle there, it was not pretty but wars never all
Maybe he might consider writing something down about it and maybe keeping it with his will at his lawyer's office? Then the family could have it after he'd passed on, but he wouldn't have to face lots of questions or whatever? (Just a historian's thought, your mileage may vary).Originally Posted by katl8e
