    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.

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.

    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.

Must have been an unthinkable feeling for these heroes.

      @nbsoboleski Год назад +4

      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.

    • @nbsoboleski
      @nbsoboleski Год назад

      @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.

      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.

      @ethanhammitt9507 4 года назад +1

      @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?
