Yup, i remember in high school, hearing a veteran Lancaster Bomber crew member talking at our school assembly and the only thing i remember is when he talked about the line to the toilet before every mission. I wish i could go back and hear it all again now i understand it all i could actually pay attention. Having a teenager now i see how it is almost impossible to get a teenager to look to far outside themselves, let alone decades into the past and half way around the world. What an amazing generation.
My grandson's high school Advanced Placement WWII History Class is in the audience & he asked the last question. He is now a plebe at a US Military Academy. Very proud of him. I & my son started his love of History & he renewed my interest in WWII
I´ve visited Bastogne and Foy once. Remember walking past the famous church in Bastogne and couldn´t help but think of Doc Roe and the nurse enduring the hardships with the wounded soldiers in here.
I'm retired military and would have done anything to be considered, even if its just a role as an extra, in such a powerful film like Band of Brothers.
It’s quite the treat when you are able to listen to a World War Two veteran with the character and humor of George! This was a great panel! I’m surprised the room wasn’t packed!
Shayne Taylor, not sure what he does now, but a great actor I BOB, My favourite, The fact that Eugene Roe went through the whole war and survived. Love to both and all who made this film.
It was my grandson's favorite high school class & he asked George the last question about being an engineer. His class used the Museum's library often & even did podcast about the War. It's called Tigers By The Fire & his is on Operation Torch.
Such a good episode! They had a medic driver in the gulf and few guys walked into a minefield in the night.. Heard them & thier screams after thier injuries.. He went into the field (knowing he could get injured) to help them & got injured himself, chopper called in and he Mr ordinary refused to be lifted himself until all were kasavaced. Chopper returned later to take him .. Bravery doesn't discriminate it is inside all of us if we take the time to learn, trust & love our friends.. "Mr ordinary" was recognised 😢😢😢 Doc speaks for many "Mr & Mrs ordinary" with love trust and strength in their soul...
@@jamesbarker2567 Well, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks teamed up again some years later to make The Pacific. The story of some of the marines in Japan during ww2. And currently they are making Masters of the Air, which is about airmen in ww2. So you have some more stuff to look forward to 😊
It wasn't lightning in a bottle, the show would have been great anyway, when I watched it I did not have the context of 911 but it still was a tremendous show.
This is wasted on Gen Z in the West which is completely self-centered (that's why they also love selfies). Whereas the younger generation in other parts in the world will understand old values like honour, sacrifice, brotherhood, family, ... The contrast between the GREATEST Generation and the SELFISH Generation can not be bigger.
How did Shane Taylor not become a huge star? He put in THE performance of the series. Such a talented guy.
These students have no idea how lucky they are. This is quite an opportunity.

Having an actual Bastogne veteran for this panel was a stroke of genius!

My grandson asked George the last question. He is in the Color Guard at his university & has met several other WWII vets.
What an amazing interview. Just finished the series- now I feel like I should watch it again
If you're anything like me, you'll be watching it once every year for the next 20 years.

Good luck buddy.
what an amazing opportunity for these students.
My grandson is in the audience with his WWII History Class & asked George the last question. He is now a plebe at a US Military Academy
Lol crazy. Hope these kids realize how fortunate they are.

Amazing panel! There’s hardly anyone there! Where are the young women?
Oh how I wish I could’ve been there 🥺🥺
Thankyou this means a lot to hear the stories.
Why isn't that room filled?
George had a sharp sense of humour!
Can't believe Renee did not go to boot camp!!!!
He was every bit as edgy and soldierly and excellent as every other
member of the cast.❤
The "aid kit" Doc Roe is collecting around @10:35 is a Carlisle bandage usually impregnated with sulfa powder.

I Really Wish Ther Were More Shows Like Band Off Brothers Around

So you have some more stuff to look forward to 😊
I love it I simply
How many people in the audience know what a Bailey bridge is?
My grandson does & asked George the last question. It was his favorite class & they even did podcast on the war.

I met a few informed and committed young people. They are our hope and should be in our prayers.
My grandson asked George the last question, is an Eagle Scout & on the Color Guard & Drill Team at his university.
Can you tell me why they used so many British actors to portray AMERICANS? Let’s make a war series of Britain fighting and use AMERICANS.
Because they filmed in the uk. Easier to find local actors than to fly over a bunch of American actors.
Show was a collaboration between HBO and the BBC.
Hope you're not too offended.
