- Band of Brothers wins the Emmy Award for best miniseries;
"Biggest Brother" Major Dick Winters mounts on stage with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg during the Emmy Awards ceremony on september 22, 2002, while the other Men of Easy Company follow the ceremony at the St. Regis Hotel.
Every high school student should be required to watch this series.
Amen to that!!!!
@ Gerald Kelly... I totally agree, especially those high school students living in Toccoa, Georgia. The vandalism at Currahee is heartbreaking.. Clean up is 29 May 2021.
ruclips.net/video/6XwDDprQkOE/видео.html
I'm in Australia but there must be enough Americans that can lobby Georgian representatives or the Governor to secure this place at least for their memories..
The bravest of the brave. This series and "The Pacific" are must see for every young person who thinks combat is a sure way to glory.
Over and over again
I’d prefer they do that than teach that CRT garbage.
I must have some kind of allergic reaction to Major Winter's voice, because every time I hear the man speak my eyes start watering.
The same happens to me... hahahaha
He was the true definition of a leader. Nay, a hero. A man who would give anything for his men, and sacrificed more than can ever be known to make sure as many of them made it home safe as possible.
Man every time i see this someone is cutting onions
I grew up knowing him personally through my dad’s memories. My father loved him so much.
Me too. What a great patriot soldier he was. Wish guys like him could live here forever. They should have guys like him speaking at every boot camp graduation in all branches of the services.
Whether he was 25 or 90, Major Winters had a presence about him. It is easy to see what made him such a natural leader. Truly a remarkable man.
No question about it
It's crazy to think he was only 27 when the NAZIs surrendered
What a shame he didn't make general.
Unfortunately war makes leaders…
stop pandering for likes with straw man attempts... you have no clue.
I remember back when HBO first aired the show. My father was living with me after he moved to Ca. He was a WW2 vet in the 28th. Inf. Div. He fought alongside the 101st. At the Battle of the Bulge. He went on to serve 20 years in the army. Dad and I watch the show together. He thought the show was better than Saving Private Ryan. Dad suffered from nightmares and was diagnosed with PTSD.
We miss you add.
Sgt. James H. Keller,
U. S. Army Ret. 1923- 2016
honor to him
Utmost respect to Sgt. Keller.
Respect
I love people sharing memories like this, I'm not American myself but I appreciate all the U.S soldiers who fought in the war to help us out in Europe. Without the Americans and Russians helping out (along with all other Allied nation), our world would not look the same today. Gratitude to your father.
On behalf of the astronomical community of San Diego, we thank you for his service.
When they show the men of Easy in the hotel room you can see the respect on their faces they still hold for their old Major.
Yes I noticed that too. Those great men's respect for Major Winters
@@NmaxYes
I'm glad there were so many E Company men alive to see their stories being told. But boy, when Dick Winters speaks, you listen.
They're all gone now.
And the world is a poorer place for their passing
Yes sir
"I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked the other day, when he said 'Grampa were you a hero in the war?'. Grampa said 'no'. But I served in a Company of Heroes"
-Major Dick Winters-
rockndude87 Thank You For Your Service Sir, Rest In Peace Forever. Your Country owes you so much for what you stood for
I cry every time I watch that interview
KorbinX me too, it’s extremely touching 🤧
Correction, this was actually in a letter Mike Ranney wrote Dick
😭
Man, when he said "I salute you" I just got goose bumps. What a hero. So sad that he passed away this year.
Forever immortalized. Still probably the best military series in history and he's the main figure. People will watch it and know "these were the men" for decades to come.
I saw Dick Winters' memorial at Normandy. These men are like Gods to the people who live there. I would highly recommend a trip there.
Following June my destination will be Normandy 😁🤩
@@DerAbenteurer94 that’s awesome
I saw it as well while visiting. Great honor to this man.
I had the honor to go to Normandy at Omaha beach, so very emotional. I can never stop watching Band of Brothers. I feel so connected. What these men did for our freedom shall NEVER be forgotten....
I want to go because my dad was there. I really wanted to take him to Europe and have him retrace his footsteps from England, across the Channel to France on D-Day , to Belgium and on to Germany. Sadly, we never had the chance.
RIP Major Dick Winters - easily one of the most admirable folks I’ve ever had the privilege of learning about.
So much badass in one room. Rest well, Easy Company. You've earned it.
“The men of Easy Company won this in 1944” that line gets me every damn time.
Thank you to each and every veteran who defends our freedom.
This has to be the greatest Emmy award speech ever
The ending scene in the series is a great one too.
These men, ordinary Americans who became extraordinary soldiers, along with their brothers in the Army Air Corps, the Navy, the Marines, the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine and our Allies did nothing less than Save the World from Nazi and Imperialist Tyranny. We can NEVER repay them for their sacrifice but we must ALWAYS honor them by never forgetting what they did for the free peoples of the world. Remember them forever,
+Villager1956 I will remember everyone who walked in the face of true evil and tired to stop it.
+Villager1956 Thanks for your fantastic words. You are sooo right, it couldnt been written better.
I agree to every letter and word : "We can NEVER repay them for their sacrifice but we must ALWAYS honor them by never forgetting what they did for the free peoples of the world. Remember them forever"
+Villager1956 Excellent and well said.
harder and heroic was the red army
@@ivanredskin
And they did it with our explosives, gun powder and steel. We supplied the fight in the East and stormed in from the West.
Never, ever, in the history of motion pictures, an award was more deserved to all those men who are rightfully called: the greatest generation. An immense thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifices,
R.I.P Richard D. Winters
Frank Soboleski is my grandfather and I'm so glad he lived until 2017, so be able to have been around for this and the other major events around the series release. These men are real life Marvel heros.
Salute to your grandfather and other men of Easy Company!
@MrTech226 thank you! I wish he was here so I could tell him directly. He was so proud of his service and locals used him as a historical resource. 😀
Was he at Toccoa?
We lucky few, we band of brothers.
For all who sheds his blood with me on this day shall be my brother
Crying my eyes out. That standing ovation killed me
Me too The Dahlia, that was back when Hollywood got it right once in a while anyway.
Same here.
Couldn't help but choke up.
@@lynnbertron1621 Yes, I've got something in my eye too......
These are the people that should be looked up to and emulated! Not sports figures, rappers, rockers, and movie stars.
Indeed
Amen brother!
Shut up
May the memory of Dick Winters and the men of E Company, 506 PIR, 101st Airborne last forever. Thank you Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg for bringing this story to HBO. Few who have seen it leave the same.
When a standing ovation is truly earned and deserved. God bless the men of Easy company and the entire 'Greatest Generation'.
2020 and this series never gets old. Can watch this a gazillion times. Every freaking time i watch it, it brings tears to my eyes. Salute to the immortal men of Easy Company and every soldier - With love from 🇮🇳
same here
me too
I just finished Part 9: Why We Fight and damn... if that doesn’t bring a tear to your eye nothing will.
I'm at a gazillion and one. Peace.
I rewatched it about a month ago and i honestly forgot this was made in 2001. In my mind i was thinking it was made around 2010. Aside from the heroics, the show itself is very well made.
Best TV Show ever made. It is a fucking masterpiece.
That could be said without the F bomb.
@@joshrandall5297 okay, well, ehm......allright, I take a look at that
Imagining Tom Hanks or Spielberg making sure the Emmy producers knew what was what: "Whatever happens, you will NOT try to play off the Major. You will let that man speak until he's good and ready to stop."
Despite being a Swede and that Sweden never took active part in WW2, I see Winters as a true hero among with his fellow brothers and I can watch the interviews again and again without getting bored. That man was absolutely fantastic👌
Dick Winters should've been awarded the Medal of Honor. Every service member should be required to watch the entire series in basic training.
They wouldn't make it physically but if it taught them teamwork and leadership it would be amazing.
Every American should be required to watch it in high school
It is a story of camaraderie and close relationships built in crisis. It is a lesson that the military regardless of which country consists of men who put everything on the line for the people they protect. They are the very best of society and we must honor them
❤️
ffjsb, you are so right. Every boot should see this entire series, and there should be a guy like Major Winters as speaker at the graduation of every boot camp graduation and every graduation of the service colleges; West Point, etc. etc.
I'm from Greece,(sorry if my english are not perfect!)
That was the best series ever about the WW2..
Major Dick Winters is not only a hero he is a legend.. I feel so proud that We Fought Together Against the Nazis for the same cause 'freedom and democracy'... I just hope that one day USA will remember to be the country that used to be those days..
Too bad Greece isn’t the same country either.
@@catherinelw9365 Yea, same can be said with USA for its Marxist, Communist nonsense of woke/cancel culture currently.
@@dvchel You think Europe doesn’t have the same problem?
Wow this comment is from 10 years ago
@@catherinelw9365 it's still better to live in Europe for a number of reasons than it is in the rapidly declining USA. And I'm an American.
god, we actually had some class once. Major Winters always makes me cry.
One day my friend asked me :"Who's your favourite character in Band of Brothers?" I answered:"I don't have a favourite.Every man in Easy Company,dead or alive, are my favourites.
Yeah, that never happened did it
A company of heroes 🥺
As a combat veteran myself.. things like that bring tears to my eyes everytime. Thank you for you service and all the men who served during the Second World War.
Sir, thank you for your service too.
Francois Dube my opinion, I think we also do these men honor not just by remembering them, but always remembering to do right in our own actions, for our own families and communities. Not everyone can serve but we can all serve our country in some way.
Yes and thank you for your service. You are all heroes
@@kbanghartVery well said. I agree.
These men right here ARE the greatest generation. I'm an active duty Infantryman in the 2BCT 101st Airborne/Air Assault DIV and I thank you for your service to this country.
Major Richard Winters had the kind of life that by example can inspire anyone to be a better person
I watch Band of Brothers every year on Memorial Day. I typically don't search for videos of these brave men as it saddens me deeply that they have left us. We would not have the freedom we enjoy if it were not for them all. From Land, Sea and Air they went and they conquered with no regard for their own safety...
I miss them all, especially my grandfather that served in WWII in the Navy.
That's awesome. I do a watch every Memorial day too. I wish more people would watch and I wish other networks would show it.
This past Christmas I got a WWII paratrooper helmet autographed by Bill Guarnere. I salute him, Major Winters along with the rest of Easy Company and all those living or dead who have served this great nation. God bless them.
Cullen Anderson And not *just* Americans of course.
***** Of course. I also salute the servicemen and women of other nations past and present that fight or fought for freedom
You're a very lucky man
Cullen Anderson cool
harder and heroic was the red army
that was great that everyone in the audience stood up when he said" Easy company did this in 1944"
If that doesn't get you choked up I don't know what will
What really gets to me is the attention and respect his men still had for him. When the commanding officer was speaking it was absolute focus and silence. No difference from when they were in the 20’s.
Much respect and love from Sweden 🇸🇪
When one of Americas greatest heroes from the era of world war 2 says "i salute you" it means more that most will ever know. Us older soldiers from any branch of the military will take pride.
Over the years whenever i was sick, i always chose this and soup. Both made me feel better
leroy214 I did the same
leroy214 nothing better to have a cold and the BOB dvd's
I have the collectors set. I do the same thing on sick days. BoB marathon. I always get a kick out of when Winters shows a hungover Nixon, Herman Goerings personal wine/booze collection.
Glad I'm not the only one... this is my GO TO DVD set when I'm sick...
An unbelievable human being. He doesn't have to talk tough or be loud but you know when he's around there's no question about who's in charge. So much respect for him and the other brothers of Easy Company.
I've watched this series over and over never get bored best mini series ever .never forget all those brave men of all nations
Hate to burst your bubble 5 years later, but the miniseries was much less than 50% accurate.
Just imagine A) being able to relive the history that you personally fought in to serve this country, graphically and cinematically re-witnessing all the ups and downs of your career, and then B) seeing how much your story has touched lives, inspired people, and then went on to win this many top awards. Must have been an unthinkable feeling for these heroes.
By what I’ve seen/heard/read, the miniseries was less than 50% accurate.
Exactly! And in the 1970s, when Ambrose reached out the men of Easy Co., not all of them were "able" to reply with their story. I know this, because my grandfather, Frank Soboleski was living his life, raising his teenage children when he received Ambrose's letter. While honored, he couldn't relive his Easy Company experiences at that time. By the 1980s, he started regaling his family and friends with these stories, slowly, more and more. The timing the film series was just right. Sadly, many of E Company had passed, but culturally speaking, the early 2000s were a time of renewed interest and appreciation of WWII war history. Frank enjoyed his time in France with Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg in July 2001, and the time at the Regis in LA for the awards ceremony. I was with him on May 22, 2017, not long before he unexpectedly passed. He would thank you and everyone with an interest in his historic experiences.
I'm glad, these great men had their stories told. I picked up the book in college and saw the miniseries. Truly life-changing
@@nbsoboleskiWow thank you for your story. God bless your grandfather
@Nmax Oh, thank you so much! All of these men were legends in their own right, and I'm proud to say that my Minnesota-born-and-bred grandfather, Frank J. Soboleski, was one of them! Barely a week after his passing, our family had to travel to Williamsburg for my cousin's wedding (Frank's Grandson, Andy) and on Memorial Day, we noticed a B.O.B. marathon on TV. My dad believes the scene on the river, where only one man was a.strong swimmer, was in fact my grandpa. Since he didn't correspond with Ambrose in the 1970s, he wasn't made into a character in the series --- yet, the fact that he was likely represented as the man swimming the river, made for a very sweet homage. I know there are a lot of blustery personalities on social media and YT comment section, always inserting themselves as being relevant to whatever is being discussed --- and plenty of them are fakes. I haven't done anything heroic, but I tried my damnedest in May 2017 to care for my national treasure of a grandfather. My dad took on a huge burden after Frank's wife died in early May from pneumonia complications in Duluth, because he became angry and depressed as well as having migraines and severe dementia. I became his 24/7 caretaker by mid-May, and moved into the basement so I could hear if he was sleepwalking. Sadly, Frank used an opportunity on Monday, May 22, 2017, to sneak out to his cabin while I ran a few urgent errands. I hurried back into the house, half-jogging in with a paper bag of cage-free eggs and ice cream cups to find an ominous but vague note, and luckily my great uncle and family friend showed up as I tried to make sense of the situation. You'd think that I wouldn't have confused the meaning, since my maternal grandfather had done the same thing in 2012, but my brain was likely protecting me with confusion. They raced up to Gold Shores, instead of myself, and found him in his truck. I was an unspoken scapegoat for a bit ("would you leave him alone? Oh well, it's not your fault, Nicole.") I'm a strong person, but after ServiceMaster f'ed up the truck cleaning, leaving me to discover the "stuff of nightmares" in black contactor bags, I begrudgingly admit that I suffered mild PTSD. People assume only veterans and abuse victims are "allowed" to get it, but there are niches people don't expect. It's ironic, because PTSD affected Frank his entire life in the firm of migraines, dizzy spells, nightmares, and rage as a young man after the war. So, while all of his children and grandchildren had a strong familial bond with Frank, he and I shared a very unique, very bizarre, and very macabre commonality upon his tragic ending. Memorial Day is a mid-point between the day of his death and his birth, so I find myself trying to learn more and honor him in some way. That's when I initially watched this video and left a comment. I apologize this reply went on so long, it's a bit much --- I know. But I feel better. Hopefully, it's interesting or insightful to any saint with the patience to read it all. God bless.
After watching Band of Brothers my eyes start watering.
To Major Dick Winters and your brothers thank you.
That has to be the greatest ever moment at the Emmys.
best WW2 series ever made, i dont think anyone will top it
I've watched Band of Brothers so many time and will never tire of it. The whole production is brilliant and one thing they did so well was not to glorify war but show it how it was, Men, Boys thrown into utter chaos and death where they never knew how long they had left, So many scenes made me well up and teary but the most emotional thing about BoB is when the original men from Easy Company told their stories at the beginning and end of each episode, To each one of those brave souls i thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you and others did. You left so many friends in France, Holland, Germany who made the ultimate sacrifice and your camaraderie shone through the way you spoke about each other. Now most of them have passed away i would have really loved to have told each and every one that what you did was never in vain and i am so very proud of you. RIP to the Band of Brothers, Real hero's
Just finished watching the series tonight (again). Started on September 9th - the twentieth anniversary of the original airdate.
I am 67 now. A vet, the son and nephew of WW2 vets and the grandson of a WW1 vet. Lol i cry like a baby to this day, ...and no!, i am not ashamed to admit it...
I'm not from the West. But seeing these brave men here on RUclips made tears roll down my eyes. RIP Maj Dick Winters same goes for the Men of E Company who passed away. You all truly are heroes..
Me as German, living in Switzerland, admire what the E company achieved and endured, and in addition the leader Mj Dick Winters as a person. He is a true inspiration. I ask to myself in situations that are difficult, what would Dick do? And the answer starts to be more clear to me. Most of the time, it ends not in the easiest option, but in the right. By this way, I try to be a better person and stay humble. Thank you to Steve Ambrose making all these stories available to all of us.
Chills every time I hear Maj. Winters speak. Godspeed Sir!
Such a touching moment for these true hero’s and MEN. I’ve been such an admirer of them and their story. I’ve run up Currahee in Toccoa Ga in order to get a feeling of just a small part of their training.
I’ve walked the fields of Normandy to stand where these brave men fought. But nothing I’ll ever do can match what these men did for all of us. So I’ll do what I can and tell their story to the younger generations.
Thank you Easy Co for helping to allow me to grow up in peace.
Great thanks!! that's exactly the best way to be and just what they would want
I feel exactly the same
Essex England.
Thank you for your service men of easy company. Very heart warming. We will never see guys this ever again.
Wow! A Hollywood that truly respected our men and women in uniform in 2002. Little did we know how different things would be about 10 years later.
Hollywood still reveres men and women in uniform. Anyone saying otherwise is spewing propaganda.
@@vinniemoran7362 I agree. There are many that still do. It seems like the few who don't get more attention.
So if this series had been released 10 years later, you don’t think the men of easy company would’ve received a standing ovation? Oh please. Hollywood has always been predominantly left leaning, and they always will be. Nothing has changed, and they still respect veterans 🙄
Growing up my father used to always tell me..."If you can read and write, thank a teacher. If you can read and write in English, thank a veteran." Thanks to my Dad, Yeoman First Class, U.S. Navy, World War II, Pacific Theater.
My great uncle Denis Dore was a Yeomen in WW2 on the USS reno
He was lost at sea in a torpedo explosion
Grandad served as a frogman for the Coast guard in Korea
Thank you for his service
@@dorebusser And for your family's as well. God Bless!
The problem I have is...
With WWII you have something your vets could fight for.
But after WWII there were no real conflicts that the US *HAD* to fight.
But they just did.
What did the US have to do in Korea? In Vietnam? In Iraq?
That were just wars to fight because they were against Russia or for oil.
And the soldiers dying on the battlefield didn't die for a greater good but just for the greed and ideas of their political leaders. Unlike '44/'45.
And frankly, anyone who enlisted after 1945 should have known that they had no business in those countries so I am not sure I should thank vets from Vietnam or Iraq. They kinda had no business to be there in the first place.
Saying this, I am fully aware I am here because of the men serving in Easy Company. I could grow up in peace and I am grateful for that.
But not for the wars who are fought today.
@ferrari2k What you are saying makes sense, but only without much context. Vietnam wasn’t completely justified, Korea was. Korea was us inserting ourselves in a conflict that at the time could result in a large part of Asia being destroyed. We helped there for a good cause. As for Iraq, “oil” is not exactly it. Sure, part of these wars are to protect our supply lines and natural resources. Even still that is a reason to thank vets. However, it is also about protecting our allies, like Israel. Much of our involvement in the Middle East is due to terrorism as well. Think about 9/11, we needed action in the Middle East to stop Al Qaida. We succeeded. That is a huge reason to thank modern vets. Also terrorism to other parts of the world, like Isis in Europe. To summarize very little of our modern involvement has to do with oil, but it is more about stopping minor threats that the potential to become major. Respectfully, do you see my point?
@@ethanhammitt9507 Ethan, don't fool yourself.America never fought a war after ww2 to defend itself or others, only it's interests.The conflicts in the middle east are not against terrorism.You do not fight a country because there are 5 terrorists from there that fly planes in your capital and NY.We all know what these wars are fought for, to justify the big budgets spent in military ranks, to consume the vast armaments the US produces and most importantly to maintain a veterancy of combat in present ranks.Signed, an European Nato ex army member who "fought" at Kandahar in Afghanistan on 2 tours.I used that way to type "fought", because there is nothing like the things the Americans and every soldier from Europe went trough in ww2.My granfather managed to survive the war, and the things he told me don't even compare to the situations I had to see and feel in the modern "war".With all sympathy and respect, someone who once stood next to US soldiers and officers in a combat zone, all I pray today is that America doesn't drag us again into a phony war.
Major Winters is a absolute class act! He even thanked the the crew. Most actors, directors and producers don't even do that after winning.
What a heart touching thing. They got it right this time. Sadly, the real Dick Winters and some of the other officers and men of Easy Company have passed on since this award.
Sadly they are all gone.
I was honored to get to see Major Winters grave site today in PA! I was a little kid when band of brothers came out. Now I'm an adult and it still gets me excited to talk about and hear what these men have accomplished and done for us!
This is a tribute to the heroic men of Easy Company. Though this wouldn't be possible without the fantastic storytelling and perfect series production. I plan to watch this once every few years. The stories and characters are timeless and should be remembered.
I tutor students and I require them to watch this series. Our freedom was bought and paid for by our veterans and those that died so that we may be free. Best mini-series ever.
When the rest of Easy Co. still walked this earth...now only a number left ....*cry*
MrMasterarms Malarkey... that's another name for bull s*** isn't it?
Plen122 shut your mouth gonorrhea
Is he the only one alive ?
Aotearoa Excubitores, I wonder if there are any of the original Easy Company left? Don't know. It would be very few if any of them are left.
Andy H I think the only one left from Easy company is Lt. Shames. Malarkey passed away on 2017
Major Winters has become such an inspirational figure in my life.
Love and respect for Easy company from India 🇮🇳
It makes me happy to see that there were some of these amazing heroes still around to see their story told and appreciated. Band of Brothers was a great series. We will not see the like of that generation ever sgain.
This truly was the greatest mini series in the history of television. Their story will never be forgotten. ❤
Whoever said our generation isn't as good, has never been down range on Afghanistan. I've been to both Iraq and Afghanistan as a marine infantryman and I will go ahead and say that the scale I which these guys fought was exponentially larger. With that being said, there's no difference between stepping on a land mine outside of Foy and stepping on one in Now Zad. Cheers to these old boys for what they accomplished and for the standard they set.
March -2022 and still one of the best shows I've ever seen. All these men had massive balls and i salute them for their service. Also Bastogne is probably one of the worst battles I've ever learned about. It still gets me everyday how these boys got through that
A salute from Major Winters is worth more than an Emmy or Oscar statute.
When he says " I wanna thank everyone of you, I salute you" I so got goosebumps...
No doubt, one of the best stories I ever read! To think someone can go through such hell and still remain sane , deserves utmost respect!...
This still makes me tear up. I never had the honor of meeting Major Winters, and I didn't know him personally, but even so, I miss him.
I am 15 years old (British)-and I cannot describe the feeling of gratitude and respect I have for these men. Their bravery and sacrifice helped secure a peaceful future for Europe, and helped eradicate facism from the west. God bless them, and every other war veteran that served and died in WW2 and every other war.
To survive a world war, and live long enough to have your story told to the world. What an incredible honor.
And it deserved every single win, the TV-series ever made.
i will never forget this quote.
2nd Lt. George Rice:
Looks like you guys are going to be surrounded.
Richard Winters:
We're paratroopers, Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded.
You mean Jimmy Fallon.
Their bravery is astounding. Pouring onto Normandy beach against the hail of Nazi gun fire and tanks - we could never say thank you enough.
Thank you WWII & all Veterans ... I am so very proud to have the freedom: that I so easily take for granted, it is because of your sacrifice that my family and I are blessed with this.
"We're Airborne Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded". Captain Dick Winters at Bastogne on the first day of the siege. That said everything. Currahee!
I break out in tears when I see the respect these men have for eachother. I just recently took a trip to Normandy and it is life changing. Thank you to all the men in women in uniform who have passes and are presantly serving.
I would have loved to meet the men of Easy Company. I love band of brothers. My great uncle was killed in France at the age of 24. During world war 2. I salute all of the veterans that are serving and who served. As well as there families. God bless them.
My grandfather’s brother was wounded in France during the Battle of the Bulge.
To paraphrase Major Winters I cherish the stories told to me first hand by both my father in law (USN WWII) as well as my brothers father in law (USMC WWII). I never asked them to talk just waited & hoped they would. When they finally did it was well worth the wait. The stories of incredible brutality & also atrocities were absolutely amazing and they for me took on a whole new light hearing them first hand. The hair stood up on the back of my neck with each new story, we miss you Brownie & Norm! Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
Major Richard WInters - a class act every single day of his life. The best of America. Hats off not just to every hero in Easy Company but every single American who served in World War 2. The greatest generation indeed.
Good to see the men there and getting the appreciation & respect they deserve. God bless the men of Easy.
Thank you for the fredom! Denmark Europe
first time watcher here, and dear god did I miss such an experience, this was so incredible
One of the best things to ever come on a TV
Marvelous Band of Brothers. always grateful to America and Americans! 🥰🇺🇲
best movie series i've seen in my whole life!
that was the most straight forward speech i have ever heard... greatest man ever.
I was 13 when I first saw this show. I watched it over and over again over the years. I am 35 now and it still chokes me up when I hear Major Winters’ talk and his voice cracks. I am currently on episode 4 while my two sons sit beside me. What an honor to pass their story along.
They won it June 6 1944 that's when you won this award
RIP Dick Winters :'(
Well that brought a lump to my throat.
😥
Can't help but be a little emotional when listening to these guys.
as an aussie, got to give credit to the yanks (including tom and stephen) for telling the story of easy company and in doing that they've also saluted all the vets who fought from Normandie to Germany. we need to tell our own aussie stories and thankyou again for the brilliant move of including the german general addressing his troops at the end ,because in doing that you also acknowledged the suffering also of the german conscripts who didn't have much choice .
Winter’s virtue always makes me think:
What if I haven’t been living the life their sacrifice behooves me to lead?
Thank you for putting my thoughts into words.
I saw an interview with Damian Lewis just the other day and I always knew he was British but it was just very strange to hear him talk with such a thick accent.
"Band Of Brothers" is the best depiction of war that I've ever seen on screen.
Currahee!!
From the 1st time my wife and i watched this series 10yrs ago, it hit home how much these men went through from D day onwards, we, have just finished watching it, like we do once a year.
"We few we band of brothers"

Great award. The series was excellent, one of my all time favorites which gave me the opportunity to get to know these men who won freedom for all of us. Major Richard Winters is a truly great man together with all who served with him during the hardest times.
Salute to Maj winter.a man ,an officer,a legend.he is a man to be learnt from
when I saw this video I cried the easy company and all veterants from WW2 is my idol forever.
Holy Moly, the standing ovation... I've got something in my eye, I guess.
