Veteran's Day 2009

For many Americans, Veteran's Day passes quietly between the hoopla of Halloween and the warm nostalgia of Thanksgiving. In that way, the reserved nature of Veteran's Day beautifully captures the quiet heroism of those who have defended us -- but our warriors' humility increases our civilian responsibility to honor and reflect. In a time of intense debate about the purpose and politics of today's conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, an undisputed and profound respect for our war heroes resonates throughout America. This Veteran's Day, we honor those who served our country by watching their stories. The documentary films below capture experiences from vastly different wars, including accounts from WWII, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. These SnagFilms offer a way to engage and inform vast audiences -- and grant to each of us the chance to spend a quiet moment with those to whom we owe so much. Watch a film... then seek out a vet, or a veteran's family, and say thanks.
