PDX CAGE Honors Veterans

[PDX CAGE]

This November 11th is Veterans Day, a day that was made a holiday to honor those that have served--or are still currently serving--in the armed services.

PDX CAGE recognizes these brave men and women, and on November 11th, Veterans will play for free.




Proof of service (DD214, Military ID Card, etc.) will be required for the free play.

[PDX CAGE]

If you have any movies--or movie suggestions--for Veterans Day, post them here, and if you have the actual DVD to play. With open play from 3-10p, we should have time for three movies.


Movies:

Blackhawk Down
Saving Private Ryan
Tears of the Sun
Crying Game
Band of Brothers
We Were Soldiers (Once, and young)
Tora Tora Tora!

PDX CAGE will also be donating $5 per person's entrance fee towards new, unwrapped toys, to be given at Santa's War this December

Wait so is it ONLY veterans? or veterans play for free and everyone just pays the normal fee?

It's open play for anyone (normal price), but Veterans play for free.

Oh ok. Also, what about active/ reserves? Do they count or is only VETERANS?

If you are a veteran, or are currently serving in the military in any capacity.

After 9/11, the role of the Reserves and National Guard have changed dramatically, with deployments almost a guarantee. When you sign up knowing you'll deploy overseas into a combat zone, it shouldn't matter if you are in uniform at home one day a month or thirty. When you go overseas, you're in the uniform every day.

I recommend "A Bridge Too Far"

[Chefzilla]

I would dump Tears of the Sun and throw on:
All's Quiet on the Western Front
The Hurt Locker
Generation Kill

[Tombstone]

I recommend "A Bridge Too Far"

This, I refuse to be your friend if you dont play this movie so loud I can hear it from my station.
Something about those British Commandos sets my heart aflame!

[McNair]

Major Harry Carlyle: That's far enough! We can hear you from there!
SS Panzer Officer: My general says there is no point in continuing this fighting! He wishes to discuss terms of a surrender!
Major Harry Carlyle: Shall I answer him, sir?
Lt. Col. John Frost: Tell him to go to hell.
Major Harry Carlyle: We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner! Sorry!
SS Panzer Officer: What?
Major Harry Carlyle: We'd like to, but we can't accept your surrender! Was there anything else?

Or the movies:
Shooter
Pearl Harbor

"A bridge Too Far" is a must though
Is it only going to be ONE movie?

[Kelharis]

Pearl Harbor

No chick flicks!

[slipstream]

Pearl Harbor

No chick flicks!

No love triangles either. The only portion of that movie worth watching is the actual attack on PH, the scenes with FDR, that analyst who predicted where the attack would come and the doolittle raid. Now that I think of it all of the movie EXCEPT the love triangle/friend fighting/non history related parts of the movie were excellent.

I vote for "Bridge on the river kwai". A bridge too far was great also. The scene where that old lady gets gunned down really stuck in my head
