Memorial Day Movies
Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is running their 4th annual Memorial Day Marathon featuring war movies from 6 decades. As always on TCM the movies are shown uninterupted. There are some great movies on the list such as Sergeant York, From Here to Eternity, Bridge Over the River Kwai, They Were Expendable, and Hell is for Heroes. For a complete listing of movies and times click here.For those with kids, these movies offer an opportunity to teach them about the holiday, the heroism and the values that make our lives as we know them possible.
American Movie Classics (AMCtv.com) starts their marathon at noon on Saturday. The movies aren't commercial free and the selection isn't as vast but they have a few good ones too.
A&E is running their made for TV movie "Ike: Countdown to D-Day", which I thought was quite good.

Unfortunately, I only get AMC and not TCM, but it sounds like AMC will have some good stuff this weekend anyway .. thanks for the alert
Ft Snelling's service this year is focusing on the role of the female veteran. Services start at 10 or 10:30. Perhaps I'll send this to the sore loser from Keegan's. Hmmmm....
