So last year I pointed out that we needed not just the holidays of Memorial Day, Flag Day and Independence Day but a whole season of patriotism from late May to early July, a month that reminds us that this is the greatest nation on Earth because of our ideals and we need to remember that. And given that we should all recognize the important nature popular culture in getting people to come over to our side, here is the list of last years most patriotic films.
Hope you enjoy this season from Memorial Day to Independence Day.
