The Greatest Generation. There is no better name. The men and women who served, knowing full well that they may never come home. And the civilian workers, who poured their blood, sweat and tears into all of things needed for victory. My grandfather served in the Pacific Theater. He very seldom talked about it, but when he did, you could see the emotions on his face. The fear, the sorrow, and even some humor. My grandmother worked at a munitions factory. She told us that sometimes they would put little notes in the crates so the 'boys', has she called them, would know they were being thought of. A great episode. Made me pull out my box set of Band of Brothers early this year. I watch it every Veterans Day.

Never forget🙏🏽 speak their names, tell their stories, honour them as much and as offen as you can… I have to be honest I watch “Band Of Brothers and The Pacific” atleast 3-4 times a year I’ve watched every documentary on Easy company anything I can find I just cant get enough of it these men are the best example of what hero’s are though every single one of them will deny it… I’m a kiwi and 1 day hope to visit Toccoa, Aldbourne etc etc my wish is to follow their journey from Toccoa to Zell Am See…. I’m really excited and looking forward to the release of “Masters Of The Air” I know it will be as good as Band Of Brothers and The Pacific…..

Thank you for your film. Very interesting. I think it fitting - and rather moving - that Skip Muck and Alex Pinkala's framed medals and insignia should be on display next to each other given how close they were in life and the fact they died side-by-side in Bastogne. Heroes all. Thank you all for your service and in many cases paying the ultimate sacrifice, the "last full measure of devotion".

I'm also a Band of Brother's and Pacific devotee! My Grandfather served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He retired as a Command Sargent Major and I am the lucky recipient of all of his Military photo's, rings, ect. My father is also a Vietnam Veteran. I am a DAR member, service runs back to Concord Green. I can't thank my forefathers enough or any Veteran enough. Be grateful for all the men who were willing to go!

The men of Easy company exemplify why they were from "the world's greatest generation" Thank you for this video. I watched Band of Brothers when I first got in the RCAF (Royal Canadian Airforce) I watched it when in training to be a RADIO AND RADAR tech. Didn't realise it then but I was a part of a "band of brothers" I within a yr was ramped up to serve my nation during our war in Afghanistan. I remember a few times in "dicey" situations this king about Easy company and what they went through. And how they leaned on each other. I remember thinking "if they did it. We can do it." I always strived to be a soldier like them. Evwn though we served in different nations militaries and different eras. The commonality of "soldiering" has not and will not everything get change. I honour those who marched before me....And cherish those who will follow after me.

What a fantastic place. It’s such a good thing that people today still remember and honour the lives of those who fought and died for their fellow man. Keep up the great work.

The most amazing part to me is considering many of those men volunteering to fight WWII (beyond the 101st Airborne Easy Company) were teenagers or just past 21 years (those were the "old men"). Some even underage wore the uniform, but they lied to enter because they believed in the effort. I know I'll get blasted for this, but I am not confident I would trust today's teenagers or anyone (ok in all fairness very few) under 30 with such an ordeal under the same circumstances. Remember military in 1940s was very different than in the 21st century.

Mike Nixon While I do agree with what you're saying overall I do have to say sometimes you'd be surprised. I'm only in my early 30's now but served in the U.S. Army after graduating from high school. While I was in I noticed a lot of the guys who excelled the best during basic training and sometimes even their careers were the ones who came from broken homes or had parents that didn't really teach them rules or respect. It was almost like the military gave them that structure that they needed but never got at home. There were also a lot of kids that only ended up there because a judge gave them the choice between the military and jail who also excelled in the military. Call me biased but a few of those "kids" are the reason I'm able to type this message yet they weren't able to leave the desert to see their families again. So sometimes those kids just need someone to give them that chance or opportunity...

Though never fact checked by me, I was told years ago that RG Letourneau was the founder of Caterpillar Tractor in Letourneau, Texas. As it was explained to me, he was a Christian man who tithed 50% of his earnings. When asked how he could afford to do that he replied, “I shovel it out and God shovels it in but God’s shovel is always bigger”. I have been a fan of the Band of Brothers since the get go. I have all of their books, first edition, first printing, signed by the author from Valor Studios. This video touched my heart with the remembrance of what these brave souls did for our freedom. They were truly a breed apart. Thanks so much for this, I didn’t know it existed. Added to my bucket list now. God bless you young man, and may your KZread videos continue to last for many years to come!!

I'm from Toccoa and former officer of the Toccoa Stephens Co historical society. You are absolutely right about Letourneau. He also built the Toccoa airport to accommodate his private DC3 (military C-47) he was probably the first business man besides Howard Hughes to use personal aircraft for traveling. The officers of the 506th were able to make their required jumps to earn their jump wings. Eventually their lone C47 crashed because of the short runway thus causing their record setting march to Atlanta, and 3rd battalions even farther march from Atlanta to Benning. The former Georgia Baptist Conference Center was the camp hospital, another Letourneau building.

I must commend you on this particular episode on your channel. It is beyond wonderful to see what amounts to the grand children and maybe even great grand children such as yourself, studying and trying to comprehend what my father as well as many others of his generation experienced. Being a 'baby boomer' had its perks. I was raised by veterans of WW2 here in east Texas. Grew up surrounded by them. Copious amounts of life experiences, some horrific, others insanely humorous about their experiences in WW2. History is an invaluable tool by which to learn, appreciate, and use in life. Harvest all of it you can then, tell your children and teach them about America and Americans. Thank you for allowing us along.

Really enjoy the manner in which you present these historical segments. This part of history strikes me on more than one level. I'm a lifelong student of history, of America's military & WWII in particular. This in part because I heard the stories of my grandfathers, my uncles throughout the years. The appreciation fostered admiration for that "Greatest Generation ". Band of Brothers brought that to film, allowing us to be part of their lives. On another note, my great-grandfather & his brothers owned a mill in Toccoa. I have a picture of them at the turn of the century. The water wheel is still visible from the road even to this day.

I plain to visit there ASAP, but as 74 years of age, I will not be climbing Currhee. I was not accepted into the military as I wanted in the mid '60s due to a physical problem though while in high school in Atlanta we had a JROTC class that was three years long. During my second year which that year cadet's were NCO's, I was one of two second year cadents who were given the rank of 2nd Lt, and became the in my senior year. As a 2nd Lt I became the arms room officer incharge of all the weapons we drilled with and cleaned each week. They were actual weapons, with firing pins removed, from WWII, Korea, and some in Vietnam. We had M1 Garands, M1 carbines and the M1A1 carbine you showed in the video with the folding stock. They were mainly used by paratroopers with the folding stocks taking up much less space. BAR rifle's and 1911 Colt automatic pistol's. Many memories were brought back watching and appreciating what you do.

So glad that I could bring you with me :)

When I watch band of brothers with my 11 year old son I always stress to him that the men these actors portray were real life superheroes. No telling what life would be like of not for them. Breaks my heart knowing in my lifetime they'll all be gone

Good video. I worked in Toccoa for 30 years. Nice little town. Thanks for featuring it.

That was just fantastic! & you're right THE coolest place. 👍

I appreciate that! Thank you.

Definitely my favourite episode! Shame there's not much here in England about easy or any airborne for that matter. But the airfield still exists, so thank you for doing what you do!

What a fantastic museum!! A great tribute to some of our true patriots and heroes. God bless them all and for those that have passed, may they rest in peace.

Awesome video JD, im a truckdriver in Holland, and just drove by the memorials of Joe Eugene Mann and Robert Cole here in Best Holland. I remembered sawing you speaking about him in this video. One of my favorite videos on your chanel for so far. Thanks for sharing all these important things of history so we can learn from it.🙏 Greetings from Holland🇳🇱

WOW! This is as good as any video I have seen. EVERYONE SHOULD be a fan of Band of Brothers--read the Stephen Ambrose book and watch the mini-series and you will know what I mean. Thank you for sharing this one. Seems right than I am watching it the week of Veterans Day.

Goodness !!! What a place to see , just gives me chills , thank you JD

You videos have such a respectful touch to them. Thanks for you efforts to keep our history alive and worth remembering.

Amazing job you do on your videos. The detail and presentation is outstanding. As a history buff, especially Civil War and WW2, your work is a must view for me. Lucky I have the time (retired) to go thru all , soon 100 episodes. My son lives in Chattanooga, and he can expect a visit from Dad soon, to see in person the places around there that you have presented. Thank you for your effort on keeping history alive . I visited the WW2 museum in New Orleans, and it was a very moving experience for me. I even learned a little more about my Dad's outfit- the 158th Infantry Regimental Combat Team (Bushmasters) and the Pacific part of the war.

I thoroughly enjoy your vlogs. World war 2 history and the Civil war are my favorite subjects to study. You have made it possible for me to visit battle sites through your vlogs. For that I thank you. Patton's is my favorite General from WW2. He did not segregate his troops. He said if a man could shoot a gun at a nazi that was all that mattered. Did you know that Civil War records of all soldiers can be obtained from Federal Archives. There is only one soldier whose records are sealed.......George Armstrong Custer. I was able to receive the war records of the Sundance Kids father. I obtained his signature and his pension application.
