- On December 4, 2009 Six members of Easy Company 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment 101st Airborne Division - their story made famous in the movie "Band of Brothers" - Gathered at the Strategic Air and Space museum to help raise funds and to see their old friend Ed Mauser. These men were members of Easy Company who went through the entire War with each other...and Ed Mauser hasn't seen any of them for 65 years.
Babe was incredible. As I understand it he and Wild Bill became really close in the years after WW2. As Shifty said they knew each other better than they knew their wives, sisters and brothers. RIP Babe & Don.
This is the beauty of great friendship and comradeship. 65 years pass and you just pick up right where you left off, as if no time at all has gone by in between.
The World owes the most respect to these amazing men who gave their lives to fight against one of the most evil militaries in the history of the world may God have them in eternal peace and happiness.
The great men of Easy Company are now all gone. Gone, but never forgotten. Rest peacefully, soldiers. Thank you all for your service.
Never tire of seeing these guys!!!
I just finished reading Don Malarkey's book. Highly recommend it. A great book to read after reading Ambrose's Band of Brothers
“That was 65 years ago”
“I don’t give a god damn it was yesterday!”
Babe Heffron was sharp as a tack until the day he left us.
That's PTSD. When you can recall the who, when, why and the response given 65 years later...they call that PTSD.
@@CplFattig Maya Muriel is pushing 100 and she never went to war and is still as sharp as a razor. It doesn't just have anything to do with PTSD it has to do with the individual
These men are incredible
We owe so much to all the men from all the countries who served their countries throughout WWII. So many gave their lives so we could have our future. Not many of the veterans are left, not many of the children of the veterans are left.
Most didn’t talk about what they did or the friends they lost. My father didn’t say much to me. I remember asking how he could speak German he replied he learnt in Germany. Mum told me it was during the war. I had relatives fighting in Burma, Africa and on the beaches of Normandy. When did we find out, at their funerals when the Royal British Legion stood guard.
My children know very little as we didn’t have the information to give.
We need series like Band of Brothers and Pacific to show future generations.
What’s also needed is other countries men being recognised for their service.
I know we have the war films, however sometimes they are not historically correct.
These guys were the greatest generation
Still talkin shit to each other. Every one of these guys = better than us.
Everyone of these guys > better than us
Thank all of you for our freedom, I served this country in a different time and a different WAR but my time does not even compare to yours THANK YOU.
Merci Messieurs..C'est sûr la terre de France que l'on voit l'ampleur de la force, du courage dont vous avez faits preuves..!!beaucoup de cimetières nous le rappellent très souvent..Vous étiez des soldats pour la paix. Pour que cessent les tortures, les meurtres ainsi que les outrages..Et vous avez réussi. Vous les enfants venu de si loin êtes devenu en quelques heures seulement de véritables Lions acharnés(impensable!inimaginable!).
Derrière il y a aussi des Mères, des Pères qui ont versé tellement de larmes que les rivières paraîtraient de bien petits filets d'eau. Alors Merci Messieurs,, Merci merci merci.
Wonderful, wonderful men. Thank you Nebraska.
Thank you for liberating my dad
HEROES.
No words to describe what these guys went through.
Babe was Irish from an Irish mom, Me too, we say it as it is and was !
Looks like Earl One Lung McClung, Ed Tipper, and maybe Buck Compton joined them.
They all showed up after Babe and Don had arrived. if I remember right, it was approximately 30 minutes, and they were all glad to see Ed, after all it had been 63 years.
I Couldn't get the one on one like I did with Ed, with the rest of the guys, but we do have this event in which they gladly shared their stories and I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity to record them.
And to think only two of those six are alive now.... :-(
CAPITAN DICK WINTERS, MR. HEFFRON, MR. GUARNIERE, Y TODOS UDS. SON GRANDES HOMBRES. TODO NUESTRO AMOR DESDE CHILE.
This is great
I wonder why Mauser hadn't been to any of the Easy Company reunions. They had one every year. Anyway, great to see him speaking with his old E Company buddies.
Ed's wife didn't like the War, and he got together with the other members of Easy Cp. only after his wife had died. He had a blast getting back together with his buddies, as you can tell by the arrival. Hope this helped.
@@CplFattig thank you!
That's probably why he has trouble remembering stuff . You spend a lifetime not talking about something you went thru you'll forget the details. I've experienced this firsthand and I'm only 35 . Have trouble remembering stuff I could rattle off like no ones business 10 years ago. These men deserve all the respect in the world
desde colombia un saludo para la 501 aerotransportada!! son heroes.... reales
At 68 years of age,i am alive because of men like these. My Dear Mother Grace Liddy,being from Gypsy stock would have never survived the Nazi`s if they had invaded Gt Britain. Yes, a sobering thought knowing I and my Brother would have never been born.My Children and Grand Children would`ve never existed and that is a fact. Freedom to live must never be taken for granted,because a great price was paid in order that we alive have it. They were all Heroes, one and all. BB
Bless all these men!
how could they be strangers after they connected so much during war? Maybe because they wanted to forget everything? I was connected ( apparently not in the same way) with some soldiers of my company when i joined the army and we went through all that harsh training together. Now (i didnt want to remember any of this) i havent seen them since then.
Well It happened 60 years ago.... I dont know what age you are, but imagine trying to remember everything that happened 20 years ago with your friends, nevermind 60!
They called him the greatest
RIP Babe... :(
Very cool. I got a couple of autographs/photos of Babe.
+AndrewRuthven1 How lucky of Rob (and the others) to have been a party of BoB & have the opportunity to meet these guys. Wish i had the same good fortune!
I think that those wonderful 90+ Veterans, should have been wearing the "authentic" uniforms rather than those overweight, middle aged "wannabes".
Sounds like Babe Heffron is just making stories up.
No, he's not making stories up, he's reliving some of the experiences that they shared in WW II. Did you notice the joke he slid in on Ed? Asking him if he was from this joint? Talking of the Air and Space museum where they had dinner.
I DONT THINK THEY WANTED THIS MUCH ATTENTION ....
for anyone who doesnt know ed has testermal cancer :(
Press F to pay respect for Don M

Is there anybody left from Easy?
No, all of the men from Easy Company have passed on. They lived long enough to know that their service to our great nation didn't go unnoticed. They are all together, Brothers in Arms in Heaven.
Ed Shames is still alive at age 97. He started out in I Company and joined Easy prior to Operation Market Garden I believe.
@@kikia6611 you are absolutely correct. Shames help build the sand boxes that were used to train for the Normandy invasion
They had many reunions over the years. Not accurate to say they spoke for the first time in 65 years.
You're right, the Easy Company did have reunions over the decades after they came home. Ed didn't attend any of the reunions because of his wife's views on the War and Ed respected that.
After she had passed, this was his first reunion he had attended and he enjoyed being with, and spending time with his fellow warriors and talking about their exploits during the War. For Ed, this was the first reunion he attended.
