Camp Toccoa - Where the Men of Easy Company Trained
This is part four of a seven-part series following my adventures in Georgia and Tennessee in May 2021. Here I visit Camp Toccoa, GA where the men of Easy Company from Band of Brothers spent the early part of their training.

I came for the reaction videos but I'm staying for the lovely and kind man who just wants to learn and teach and make a positive impact on his community
I missed the notification, but thankfully JD posted a link. I got more screen time in yours than in JD's video 😆. Looking forward to the cleanup. Thanks for taking the time to record the camp museum. There were some things in there I had missed.

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP MY G
The Watching Band of Brothers part reminded me of my time in the Bundeswehr, a couple of people me included had our basic Training in the Von Staufenberg Kaserne/Base, which had a Museum dedicated to von Staufenberg, after basic training we were transferred to our "Final Destination" the place was known for being the last you'll ever reach cause getting away from it is near impossible, but half a year after we arrived there we were told we should put on Formal uniform, we marched into the city to the Cinema and watched Operation Valkyrie with Tom Cruise.
Watching BoB for the first time about three years ago. Since then I have been searching and studying whatever came my way during WWII. I am so enthused with the subject describing the victories and defeats. The number of people who died, citizens and soldiers just because a hand full of others thought their ideas were better. I follow JD with every video he has produced, he's such a great and informative teacher. Today is the first time I have noticed you and will become a subscriber today. I don't want to miss ANYTHING. I am reading every book I come across from the soldier's view to getting the true word of what really happened as well as the dedication they had going through the strenuous basic training. We are lucky the location of the United States doesn't give enemies the chance to invade, and the fact we are the most powerful and most advanced armed forces on earth keeps massive and ongoing fighting off our shores. Being we are in the nuclear stage of time it will become more of a challenge. I just wish if world wars such as WWI and WWII come along we have citizens who will be as ready to fight as there were then. Jim "Pee Wee" Martin who was with the 506 is one of the few remaining men who fought in his group and until a few years ago toured everywhere he was asked, to spread the truth of what they went through during WWII. He will be 102 years old on April 29th of this month in 2022 just seven days from now. They are all just about gone and without the teachings, videos, and movies to keep them alive I'm afraid the true feelings of these brave men will discover as the smoke of a campfire does. God bless them all for helping us keep our freedom for many years. The link below is a lengthy one of Jim "Pee-Wee" Martin giving a speech of what he did and observed when WWII broke out speaking of his life before enlisting, during his training, and his time on D-Day and throughout the war, and later on in life. It's very interestingly told by a man of around 93+ years old. As I said, he will be 101 this time next week. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZpqHpI-Iqse_mc4.html

That was a sweltering Tennessee day! I will contact you on discord with my personal email address. Please let me know if you would like to come down to Chattanooga again when you have more time to see the sights. My dad is an avid civil war historian and would love to meet with you and show you around.
Hey man, just wanted to pop in and show my appreciation for the work that you do. personally i love these videos where you visit historical sites, and take us along to just experience the history first hand. Your passion and love of history is absolutely contagious, and had made me even more of history buff than i already was, and made me appreciate our history more than ever before. i absolutely look forward to everything you have coming up (loving the ww1 stuff btw!), and everything you do to share your love of history!
Thanks for sharing! I can't believe the quality of the tour!
Fianlly, the long awaited tour. Thanks for posting!
Go, Evan!!!
Very Informative Video, hope you do more.
Cool! I just got back to the USA after three yrs in Belgium and I was able to go to Bastogne and walk thru the Bois Jacque, and in Normandy I peered over the fence at Brecourt Manor. I went thru the streets of Carenton and Ste Marie Eglise. Now maybe I'll head down from where I live in Va Beach to Georgia and check out Camp Toccoa. I'm USMC and my wife is Navy but we also respect what the Army did. I saw you in JD's video.
Really cool and interesting video. Keep up the amazing work
Awesome video man! Love these vlogs/video's!! 👍
Great content! Thanks for your videos, cheers from Argentina 🤗

You got to watch BoB AT TOCCOA?! I'M SO JEALOUS! Good luck tomorrow! Three miles up, three miles down! Hi Ho silver!!!!!!!!
There are several POWs from WWll also from Italy next to the Germans
This was awesome view of how the camp looks today. I just watched BoB last year for the first time amazing. Also god-forbid if WW3 happens what place would be the next modern day Camp Toccoa? I do wonder how the generation of today would handle such a thing? I've heard many say that the people of today this generation have become so weak and disconnected🤔

Yessir
Can you do a video on the battle of Armada?
What did you think of the places you visited, but didn’t review. The Medal of Honor Heritage center was worth visiting. I live in Pennsylvania, but traveled to Chattanooga often for business.
