My Great Uncle was a captain in the second world war and was a beach master on Omaha. He went in before the first wave in the attack. He directed the landing on that beach and helped soldiers out of the boats. He was one of the first American soldiers to land in France that day. He also helped land General Patton in the invasion of Sicily and Salerno. He also served in North Africa. On Omaha, he was standing under heavy German fire. Somehow he made it out alive that day. He later served in the Korean War. He served in the Army in WW2, the Coast Guard in Korea, and then served in the Marine Corps, and Navy. He went to VMI and graduated at age 22 and was 35 in 44. After the war, he became a sheriff. Rest in Peace Captain F Perry Williams.
He actually said that quoting Shakespeare “But we in it shall be remembered, we few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother”
I became a Paratrooper because of watching Band of Brothers! Never been in a plane before I left for Basic! Second time flying it was in a C-130 in Airborne School, and I was jumping out of it! D CO. 1/507th ABN. Class 36-02
Soul stirring. The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him. - G.K. Chesterton #life #passion #war
Alle die beim ww1, ww2 oder in der heutigen Zeit im Krieg waren hier habt meinen größten Respekt. Ich selber habe gedient und 2 Auslandseinsätze hinter mir habe Freunde gefunden und auch verloren. Jeder Gang zu ihrem Grab auf dem Friedhof fällt mir schwer aber ich vergieße jede einzelne Träne für euch meine Kameraden und für die Kameraden egal welcher Nation den ihr habt meinen größten Respekt. Ich salutiere vor euch in größter Hochachtung.
Band of Brothers is the greatest WW2 TV series and Saving Private Ryan is the greatest WW2 movie. God bless that generation of men, we don't have many left alive to salute today... to thank.
Real, True, American Heroes, not the actors. Easy Company and all of the others of this generation who fought and died for our freedoms. GOD Bless them all.
0:39. I shiver and my eyes well up every time I hear this story. My God, but that I might have been able to live such a life and make such a statement.
The look in that German solders eye before captain winters shot him is a look I will never get out of my mind. the look that he knew he was going to die.
shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.
My grandpa's brother wasn't American but he served the US Army at the 1st World War. Killed in action in France. He had my First and Last name. Proud !
Diese Männer tahten ihre Pflicht und Beschützten sich gegenseitig. Wer das Hässliche Gesicht des Krieges sehen will. Der sollte Band of Brothers anschauen. Allen Soldaten wo im Zweiten Weltkrieg gekämpft haben. Möget ihr in Frieden ruhen und nie mehr so ein Blurvergiesen passiern
Brilliant video Fantastic tribute ❤️ Band Of Brothers was a Magnificent series hero's 1 & all Quality Cast great job by all take care and stay safe everyone 👍🏴🥃🍺❤️🌟👻
I'm greatful for the sacrifice made of each allied soldier who fought against fascism. Those men liberated Wewelsburg Concentration camp and so my grandpa, who defiently refused to fight for nazigermany. He was in multiple concentration camps for 8 years until his liberation. Im alive today because of those mens sacrifice. I would love to say to them "Your sacrifice was not in vain. It's with me every day of my life."
I'm from the Czech Republic.Our exiled pilots in the service of the RAF protected airborne divisions, including the 101st Airborne Division during Operation Market Garden.
I get what you mean, but I don't think you should be jealous, the people that fought in this war, have seen something even worse then hell. Because hell is where bad people go to, war is something where innocent children, elderly and other ordinary civilians are forced to face and die in the most horrible of ways.
AF Ghosting , I understand your sentiment , but know that , that kind of camaraderie comes with a high price!!! People have no idea what price alot of those men payed when they returned home , knowing that many of their closest brothers did not 😔 And back then , they didn't have access to all the help that the VA can provide now , they just had to come home , suck it up and go on with making a life come he'll or high water!!!!
You can hear winter's praising and thanking the TRUE GOD for his survival and that he would live another day. I guarantee he prayed Psalm 91 in real life and the Lord show d him favor and got him through world war 2 and Korean war!
In WW II all gave something...some gave all. My salute for all of them, my deep sorrow for the fallen. Unfortunately, the human race never learns anything, the stupidity goes on.
@@TacMedic have watched ...but it exaggerated many incidents . But it was a good watch . Please watch Letters from Iwo Jima ( Japanese perspective of WW2 ) and Generation War ( German perspective of WW2 ) both are as real as it could be... first one is movie and second one is series
I hate this quote 🤬 Nothing can justify the war People like you are romanticize the war in the name of patriotism glory but in reality it's brutal only soldiers see the wicked dark side of this world and nothing cant justify this killing of mankind
@@bgmiloverrrforever7184 I get the point of War is never good. But look at the stereotypical WW2 Scenario What if the US and Soviet Union never joined in? They were major powers during WW2 and part of the reason the allies won. How would the world look today if they never joined in. Some wars don't have a point or need. Whilst some wars are needed and have reason
My Great Grandfather was one of the first Soviet soldiers who fought with the americans in bavaria! he thought with tankers and in the end he sadly died but died with Honor! long live these heros Never Forget history! R.I.P
Le debemos mucho a los Estados Unidos de ame América gracias a todos los que lucharon en Europa y permítame por todo los soldados que lucharon contra esa locura mis respetos
My grand father was at pearl harbor, it was amazing hearing his stories but u could see what it did to him grand pop ug u use to call me little tiger u were right 😊.
Realmente, fueron mucho más, que valientes. Fueron moldes, ejemplos de cómo debe ser hombres, soldados, valerosos. Gracias, soldados de USA, por vuestra gran aportación y sufrimiento, en los eventos, donde demostraron ser grandes y valiosos guerreros. Mi amor y mi corazón como ser humano, estará con todos , los anteriores y los actuales. Gracias, guerreros, gracias.❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
Some run into hell while others flee from it. Thank you to every soldier past present and future for your love and sacrifice. No greater love that men would sacrifice their own for another, even for a stranger that cares nothing about their mission. Without SOLDIERS we would be defenseless against the enemies of our souls. Keep fighting until the Prince of peace comes. Then we will all live in peace a 1000 years. Who is this prince, who is this king? But first he have to get rid of the warmongers who hates peace and refuse to do good. Revelation 19 says And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth go a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Yes you have enemies. They don't like you, in fact they hate you. They hate your culture, they hate your freedoms, and they hate God. But God is not moved with fear for man. He who created the heavens and earth is great and terrible but men will perish like the beast of the field unless they surrender their sin sick souls to be healed and forgiven. God is merciful, slow to anger and rich in mercy forgiven sin and healing the sick. God Bless The art of War and Peace books2read.com/artpeacewar
They are / have been one tought son of B**** ! In Finland we got our own heros aswell, but love thise dudes! Miniserie of thise ppls are insane good, almost good as they in real person!
Bel hommage avec cette série pour ces valeureux combattants parachutistes US qui participeront à la libération de la France dès le 5 juin 44 en Normandie, puis partiront sur le front des Ardennes, les Pays Bas, puis le Rhin pour monter jusqu'au nid d'aigle en Autriche d'Adolf H. Histoires d'hommes courageux et d'une histoire très conflictuelle dans un monde bouleversé par la tyrannie nazie. Ne l'oublions pas, certains dirigeants actuels sont prêts à faire renaître une chappe de plomb sur l'Europe et le monde en menaçant un mode de vie et de liberté de l'individu. Combattons comme ceux des forces de la liberté et de la paix 🕊️ contre ces tyrans paranoïaques de tous poils. Phil 🏍️ 🇨🇵.
