The few, The proud
Ready? Aim, and fire off some answers to this war movie quiz

Memorial Day is when we honor those who died in service to their country. More than a few pay tribute by watching one of the battalion of war movies that are broadcast each year. Can you recall at least three members of the "Dirty Dozen," or would naming a few "Platoon" members be more likely? Take our quiz matching up war movies with a collection of those films' stars — we'll call them a unit for this test. This may be little more than a training exercise for warriors of a certain age, and near impossible for everyone else.
