Memorial Day honors the men and women who died while serving in the military. Oftentimes, we observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries, holding family gatherings, and participating in parades. Many of us may be binge watching Netflix. Here is a list of 10 movies that you should watch Memorial Weekend on Netflix to help us remember those who came before us and won us our freedom. (Each of these movies I've chose are all based on real life events.)
- Sandcastle – After the invasion of Iraq, a reluctant soldier platoon is dispatched on a dangerous mission to repair a hostile village's water system.
- Seal Team Six – US Navy Seal Team 6 trains for a critical mission, then executes a tough nighttime raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound.
