LAW & LIBERTY: REFLECTING ON MEMORIAL DAY

As the nation paused on Monday to commemorate Memorial Day, Titus Techera's thoughtful essay, featured on Law and Liberty, examines how we remember American sacrifice—and how easily that memory can fade into cultural triviality.

In Triumph and Triviality in Saving Private Ryan, Techera revisits Spielberg’s celebrated film not just as a war movie, but as a meditation on the moral seriousness of courage and duty. He explores how the film’s heroic themes challenge a modern society that often favors entertainment over enduring meaning.
