missing a film

driving me nuts

I can't get this short little montage out of my head, but I can't remember what movie it's from.  There's a voice over narration talking about a character in the movie.  It's talking about how he had a relative who died in every major American war, and there's a quick montage of each of his relatives being shot and killed in different era war uniforms.  I'm not even sure if this was a movie I liked, but I know I've seen it.  What is it???

Re:driving me nuts

"The Wrong Box" is about a tontine,  and various folks are shown dying off, but I can't remember if they're related.

I vaguely remember a movie, don't remember if it was that one, where one of the men, in uniform, is standing on the wall of a fort, blowing on a bugle, and an arrow thuds through the length of the intrument and skewers him...

No that's not it because I've never even heard of that movie.  This was quite a short sequence.  Probably couldn't have been more than 10 seconds.  I think most of the shots are overhead shots of the grown showing the different people falling dead into the frame.  Again each shot is only a second or a couple seconds at most, and the whole montage is only like 10 seconds at the most.

I think it's from one of these quirky movies with lots of narration about characters that shows all of these montages about the past....  I dunno.  I'm so annoyed I can't figure it out!

My friend Andy was able to answer this for me.  It's from Forrest Gump:

                                     FORREST (V.O.)
                         Lt. Dan sure knew his stuff. I felt
                         real lucky he was my lieutenant. He
                         was from a long, great military
                         tradition. Somebody in his family
                         had fought and died in every single
                         American war.

Was that just a test Brian or did you really forget what movie that was in?
