Rienne

Rienne was an American paratrooper of the 101st Airborne, mentioned in the film Saving Private Ryan.

He was killed in action in France, during, and his dogtag was mistaken by Private Daniel Jackson as "Ryan", but Private Stanley Mellish corrected him that it was a French name and was therefore spelled differently. This also indicates that Jackson couldn't really read as well as others and could indicate that he may have never been educated, coming from the country.

Trivia

 * After reading the dog tag with the name "Rienne," one soldier asks what it is and gets the response, "It's nothing." "Rien" is French for "nothing,"" it gives more depth to the captain's later monologue: "I don't know anything about Ryan. I don't care. The man means nothing to me".
