15 War Movies to Get You Ready For Memorial Day

Many war films have been produced with the cooperation of a nation's military forces. The United States Navy has been very cooperative since World War II in providing ships and technical guidance, Top Gun being the most famous example.

As a nation, we honor all the people who have given their lives for our country since 1776!
