The Best Years of Our Lives, one of my all time favorite movies.
Great cast. Apart from the great actors mentioned in the OP, we also had Myrna Loy and the beautiful Virginia Mayo.

I used a watch a film about Army nurses that had escaped Bataan and finally got to Australia and were on a boat to the USA as a Doctor tried to help a nurse recover from PTSD (Combat Fatigue). This used be on on Memorial Day, but I haven’t seen this movie is several years. I cannot remember the name of the movie.

The greatest moment in that flick was when While inspecting the bridge he designed Alex Guiness playing the Brit Colonel looks down over a guard rail and into the river and spots a Brit sapper played by William Holden busy installing explosives who motions silence by placing a finger to his lips and Guiness turns and looks at the camera and exclaims “What have I done”

“Bongino podcast I listened to today said our country is over.”
Bongino is wrong. Our country is rebounding from eight years of Obama and the year 2000 was the beginning of the New Evangelization.
I learned today that graduate students in Sweden speak English, because they want to adapt to our Economy.
I enjoy listening to Bongino regularly but here he is wrong. Our country is not over. No way.

I just recently watched the version with Ernest Borgnine and Richard Thomas for the first time. Pretty good IMO...always liked Borgnine; he reminds me of my paternal grandfather.

How about A BRIDGE TOO FAR? Operation Market Garden in 1944...The movie has US paratroopers...

We recently watched the Winds of War and War and Remembrance, the Herman Wouk books turned mini-series from the 80s. It s 19 episodes in total but was surprisingly good.

The Best Years of Our Lives is a good movie, but I remember being stunned by the amount of alcohol those people consumed. When prohibition was repealed, people went crazy in the opposite direction for two decades.

So Proudly We Hail was a flick about nurses in WWII. It that the one? Veronica Lake, her golden tresses glimmering in the moonlight, comes to an unfortunate end.

"Our country is not over. No way."Damn right!
But we've got a big job ahead convincing the brainwashed morons that 2 + 2 = 4.
On the other hand, we've got the advantage: note tagline (and vice versa).

Alcohol may have been the lubricant in the machines that, after WWII, built the greatest consumer economy in history, invented the transistor, cured polio, put Americans in space, and sent men to the moon.
In the spirit of those days, I’ll have another!

Maybe, but I think it more likely that the impetus of ascendancy, that won the war, built the greatest consumer economy in history, invented the transistor, cured polio, put Americans in space, sent men to the moon, and lifted Americans into a saner approach to alcohol (and tobacco).
I'll join you in the toast, but one's enough.
BTW, there's an Alice Faye movie, from the late '30s I think, when women and to some extent men decided that smoking cigarettes represented liberation and went overboard rejection the proscriptions of the past. In one of the song-and-dance numbers, the babes puffed away as they kicked and trilled.
