In "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) an American soldier,
seeing a large number of Italian names on Army dog tags,

What an incredible slap at the 500,000 men
who served so honorably during World War II.
Indeed, two of the major heroes of the Greatest Generation
were Italian-Americans:
Sgt. John Basilone, winner of both the Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross,
and fighter pilot Don Gentile,
described by General Dwight D. Eisenhower as
a "one-man fighting force."
