Tuesday Afternoon Diversion: Veteran's Day Edition

We earlier gave our respects to all the Veterans out there, but thought we needed just another little...something. Every year at this time, we catch the television airing of Saving Private Ryan (it aired Sunday night on TNT), which remains one of our favorite Spielberg films (that epic opening D-Day scene is an amazing, visceral experience every time we see it). Sure, it may not be the most orthodox way of giving another salute, but even Hollywood recreations like this give us a better understanding of the sacrifice that our Vets have made for our country. The following is one our favorite scenes of the movie, capturing one of the quieter, funnier moments among the soldiers (language NSFW).
