By far the best movie I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 1999)

Just last summer I became a proud member of the United States Army. As the son of a retired Army officer and the grandson of a World War II veteran, this movie hit somewhat close to home. Never before have I seen such a realistic portrayal of battle. Anyone who sees this movie should keep in mind the sacrifice men and women have made for them and be reminded not to take simple everyday freedoms for granted. When CPT Miller says to PVT Ryan "Earn this," he is speaking to us all. We must never forget the cost at which our freedom was gained, and never disgrace ourselves and our country.
