11 Movies to Watch on Veteran's Day that will Leave You Feeling More Thankful than Ever.

Thank you to all the men and women that sacrifice their lives for this country. We are truly grateful for all that you do for America. Happy Veteran's Day to all.

Black Hawk Down

Black Hawk Down is a 2002 movie that depicts the true story of 2 Black Hawk helicopters getting shot down in Somalia, leading to an overnight battle known as the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993.

American Sniper

American Sniper tells the true story of Navy SEAL Sniper Chris Kyle, who served four tours in the Iraq War and was awarded many honors and medals because of his true acts of heroism. The movie was made after Kyle released his autobiography. I would grab a box of tissues for this one.

Saving Private Ryan

This Steven Spielberg movie will leave you in tears for a week. It's set during the Battle of Normandy during World War II and is about a captain and his squad risking all to send home a soldier whose three brothers were killed in the same war. It's known for its intense graphics and gore, so please be advised when watching.

Forrest Gump

This movie is a classic. It depicts the Vietnam War and other pertinent events in history in a funnier way than most other war movies, but don't be dismayed, it's still a tear jerker.

Pearl Harbor

This movie was filmed in Ben Affleck's PRIME. Two lifelong friends and soldiers fall for the same woman, but put their differences aside when the Japanese bomb the Pearl Harbor. The ending will make you want to hold your best friend for the rest of time.

Lone Survivor

A squad of Taliban fighters attack four Navy SEALs in Afghanistan while they were trying to track down the Taliban leader, Ahmad Shah, in the unsuccessful story of Operation Red Wings.

The Hurt Locker

This movie traces the lives of a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst intense violence during the Iraq War. The team is highly targeted and shows their psychological battles in the midst of combat.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
