TODAY IS: Veterans Day in the United States. The day honors soldiers of all American wars, but it began as an observation of the end of World War I -- today is still celebrated as Armistice Day in France, Belgium, and other European countries. The troubled life of Vietnam vet Ron Kovic is detailed in the 1989 films BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY -- Tom Cruise plays Kovic in one of his best performances. [today's movie at IMDb]
