    When I saw this documentary it made me feel proud of them, and of course sad, because of the great sacrifices they all made for our country and what they all did and achieved during world war 2. I loved the camaraderie that they all shared and how they looked out for one another. I Thank God for these men because He (God) in all His wisdom choose the right men tough, valiant, and dedicated to the mission; For He knew what kind of man it would take to bring this war to an end. God, I Thank You for Your many blessings that You have bestowed upon us as a nation. I Thank You for choosing these tough men of Paratroopers from Easy Company, 506th PIR, as well as all who participated in this Great War. They have all departed now and are no longer are with us, but their extraordinary valor and bravery remain with us as a testimony. May the peace and love of God always be upon their families, May You O'God cover them under the shadow of Your Might Wings. In Jesus Name I pray. CURRAHEE!!!

    I met these guys in real life, and it always cracks me up watching interviews like this. Most of them, if not all of them are gone now, last Eagle who did his final jump was Rod Strohl. Al Mampre before that, both in 2019. Frank died 24th. of October, 2013, a month before Earl McClung. They'll be missed, but never forgotten. Oh, and I agree with the rest, the music was too loud.

    To the guy interviewing, people want to hear the person being interviewed, not your voice. And do you think for a second Mr Perconte would snitch on Lt. Spieres ever? Even if it did happen Mr Perconte would take that fact to his grave.

    • @marikafasola8771
      @marikafasola8771 Před 4 lety

      Perconte simply didnt not know itAfter all these years. It seems it was still rumour for him. . Speirs told only Winters about it befoe his death.

    • @MrLion64
      @MrLion64 Před 6 lety

      I know Winters said that Speirs was a real killer, but as far as 20, it looked more like 5 or 6 maybe and they didn't have any where to put them or hold them yet, remember?

      It is awesome in every way that word can be used but "the Pacific " is the greatest no offense intended but what the Marines went through in the Pacific makes this look like a walk in the park no disrespect in any way whatsoever to the Airborne they are great men and did great things
