My Grandpa, Henry Kilburn, was in the 82nd Airborne.

Tarl-ton, not Tarlee-ton.

Thank you for the view of the interesting history of your country👍

Too bad this documentary avoids mentioning that the vatican was behind the mass murder of the Huguenots, issuing orders to the king of france to wipe them out c/o catherine medici. Also, the Scots-Irish fought the catholic church in the old country primarily, not just the brits.

God Save The King. Loyalists bled and died fighting the First 'Woke' American Colonies Civil War. 175,000 of us were robbed and driven away - and thrived because we were not of the mob.

Thank you! I appreciate this excellent documentary featuring a true American hero! Especially knowing that some of my ancestors were there serving under Francis Marion. We have quite a legacy of heroes to look up to as we struggle to maintain the liberties they so valiantly fought for!

Go to this year's Career Fair - you'll be glad you did!

Yes, God Bless. Outstanding man. I do appreciate.

I miss you so much Dad . ❤

I served in the 82nd in 1979. Pure respect for these troops. ALL THE WAY!!!

My uncle was KIA at ST Lo 1944.

My great grandparents are buried behind that church 54:15

This is a stretch but by any chance does anyone seeing this videe have any knowldge of George E. Tillett? He was my mother's youngest brother. His name is on the Memorial. Unfortunately, I just discovered this video.

Many experts put a big question mark over Steele hanging from the steeple. Too late to change it now I suppose and it attracts too many tourists

It's sad, people that graduate from USC in Columbia. think that the mascot is actually a chicken. I wonder why that is?

Error at 10:05 regarding the Battle of Lexington. The narrator says the British fired the first shot. Actually NOBODY knows from which side the shot was fired, and suspect it was not intentional, but accidental. However and by whomever, that shot became known as "The Shot Heard Around the World".

Growing up in rural eastern Massachusetts my dad always told me “we’re swamp yankees.”

At 49:50 The so called German Tanks were captured French 1940 Tanks lol

The release of the Parachute harness was too convoluted and difficult , tied down with the men taking too much with them, on themselves . No wonder they couldn't get out of the water. The British harness was easier. The reports of the Pilots going into too fast is due to the P'troopers having no idea how a plane works and misinterpreting the actions of the pilots. Then the stories are dubiously repeated with out checking primary sources or the facts verified .Lazy producers to this video.

A missing Fact in this was it was the British 6th Airborne who dropped on DDAY TOO. Whats with the thumps in the music all the time ? UNNECCESSARY

82nd Airborne 505 parachute Co. G. Looking for Kenneth Harris. , uncle

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. The Swamp Fox was a boyhood hero of mine, mostly from the Disney produced TV show, but I was always fascinated by the Revolutionary War era. I learned later that my grandfather was name Francis Marion Bales. My great grandfather must have been a fan. Grandpa always went by Frank (for who I am named), he didn’t like his name. Of course the county Indianapolis is in is Marion County. There’s also a city named Marion in Indiana (my home state).

I've always wondered exactly HOW coincidental the drunken party with SO many Continental Officers attending actually was. It seems a trifle TOO coincidental, especially since Marion was the only one to escape capture. It wouldn't take much to convince someone to have a celebration for "Military Heroes" (whether they were or not) even if YOU were; in truth, a closet loyalist.

True heroes, may you rest in peace. I visited Normandy this week and am forever grateful 🙏

This is a wonderful program, thank you very much. My father Bud Prendergast was there. He received both the Silver and Bronze Star. RIP Bud, I’m so proud of you.

Walt Disney produced a remarkable series in 1963 about the great Francis Marion. Leslie Nielsen played Marion and there are also plenty of famous character actors from the era. The series can be seen right here on KZbin.

Boston born Scottish/Irish I still have a chip on my shoulder against redcoats and loyalists

These stories need to be yold/shown in schools.

the wind brow the Paratroopers off their target . my dad's plane never left the ground in England . 82nd Airborne D-Day

everyone hears about the 101 Airborne but the 82nd parachuted into Sicily July 1944 . my dad parachuted on top of a olive tree in Sicily

Until I saw this I had no idea there were so many battles and the war had raged on as brutally as it had.

Cavalry is mounted infantry, Calvary was the execution site of our Lord

Here I go another one of these my grandpa bla bla. My 5th great-grandfather Zachariah Sanders did 2 three year tours under George Washington's continental army. James Turner was a captain in the Virginia militia he fought in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Both settled in Wayne County Kentucky.

Get rid of the beach chicken on steroids. There's a reason why Rutgers doesn't use the Chanticleer for their mascot any longer. The Princeton students, their rivals, educated them by explaining that the source of why we call cowards "chickens" is because the Chanticleer in the Nun's Priest's Tale was a coward, foolish, and haughty. The Rutgers faithful realized how doltish they were appearing to the world and quickly changed it. What's our excuse?

Change the mascot. It makes us look doltish, as if we had never read the very source of the Chanticleer who was not brave, but rather cowardly, foolish, and haughty. It is why Rutgers University stop using it. Ex Libertate, Veritas (I hope).

I love this tradition and hope it continues. However, we need to do what Rutgers did and get rid of the Chanticleer as a mascot. Rutgers got tired of Princeton making them feel stupid by explaining to the vapid Rutgers students that the Chanticleer is the source of why we call cowards, "chickens". Hence, calling their athletes and themselves cowards without knowing it. Princeton students knew that the main lesson of the Nun's Priest's Teal was NOT to be like the Chanticleer. So, why are we calling our athletes cowards?

HI! how can students try out?

Wondering why excellent information is often compromised by background music that's too loud...

Very interesting. Well done,

Hello! Thank you for putting this video together. It's important to never forget and to honor these heroes. I would love to speak to someone from your organization to provide more detail about Turnbull and his platoon's actions at Neuville on D-Day and correct some inaccuracies in regards to their story as told in this video. Thank you!

18:10 and 54:33 Micajah is pronounced "mi-KAY-jah" NOT "MY kay juh". It's a name out of the Bible. Micajah was the son of Imlah. He is one of the four disciples of Elijah. (1 Kings 22:1-12)

We’re going to need some Francis Marion’s in the times to come it seems.

Safety first Students . Please be Safe .

It's not Hugenoes. It's Hugenots as in nots.

One of my ancestors was a brother to George Washington by his fathers’s first wife, his older brother Augustus who was a long time back cousin to me and I’m thankful to ancestry website I haven’t been on in years for letting me know that. I’m proud to be a part of the dna that helped create the independence of America. I’m proud and humbled by thier sacrifice of thier time and effort and not just going along with high taxes and dumping that tea in the Boston harbor to protest and helped make America A country. Glad the history channel put this history on here because while we are allies with the Brits now and ezoecially in WW1 and WW2 we have to remind them that we ain’t taking any mess off them back then or today.Americans don’t like high fallutimg attitudes but also see the royal family as allies now but not back then. We aren’t giving up our freedom to any dragoons we used them gators fir ammo and eat them for dinner because the Lord made us the top of the food chain.
