I am an Englishman in my 80th year and nearing the end of my life.One of my memories as a boy was standing at the roadside and saluting the American troops as they passed through our town on the way to the Normandy Invasion. One of the GIs threw me a rations pack. I will never forget his face and I often wonder if he survived. I have lived a very long and happy life in a democracy free from the evils of a Nazi system which could have been my destiny. I salute the bravery and sacrifice of this generation of men and women and the price that many of them paid so that my generation and future generations could enjoy a quality of life, denied to them.I will never forget them. God Bless them

He talked about how Americans were treated to a meal hungry Soviet soldiers and they were glad that met a cross Berlin on both sides. This day is called "Elbe Day". Today I finished watching this beautiful show of bravery of American soldiers and the terrible war. It seems to me that the people began to forget how terrible war.

I'm 38, British, my dads mums brother fought in Burma when he was a young man during WW2. Long after the war he later died in his late 30's due to some kind of shell-shock PTSD - his mind caused his nervous system to break down or something like that, my dad said it was extremely heart breaking for him to see his uncle physically deteriorate how he did - just because of all the bombs he faced and almost lost limbs to. Both my grandfathers didn't fight in WW2, my dads dads brother (born 1920) was a reconnaissance soldier in Europe he luckily died from old age, but alone, in his sleep in his 80's. For as long as I'm able I'll never ever sell his medals.

The real celebrities to me were the veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq. I'm a history buff and I read about famous battles in all wars. One day we had a senior citizen bring his grandsons over to shoot and I asked if he was going to shoot, he said he did enough shooting in WWII in the Hurtgen forest. My eyes grew big as saucer plates and asked "The Death Factory?" he was surprised I knew and I just had to go around the counter and shake his hand saying "thank you". I took pictures with him holding an M1 Garand and I couldn't help shedding a few tears. When He left I gave him a hug and said "Thank you for keeping us free." GOD BLESS ALL VETS.

A family friend, Abe Abrams I believe was his name, spent the entire war in the Philippines and was a guest of the JIA at Bataan. The Pacific certainly was a different kind of war. The general conduct of the Japanese and his descriptions of the treatment of Allied prisoners and civilians who crossed their path was unspeakable. In any of the occupied countries no female was safe, no child innocent. The Japanese soldiers were trained under brutal rules and under threats of violence to become ruthless, soulless killers. It's hard to believe the Japanese high command would even leave thousands of their own troops without supplies, especially food for instance, and cannibalism became commonplace for THEIR survival ! I never read THAT in a history book at school .

My Great Uncle was a captain in the war and was a beach master on Omaha. He went in before the first wave in the attack. He directed the landing on that beach and helped soldiers out of the boats. He was one of the first American soldiers to land in France that day. He also helped land General Patton in the invasion of Sicily at Salerno. He also served in North Africa. On Omaha, he was standing under heavy German fire. Somehow he made it out alive that day. He later served in the Korean War. He served in the Army in WW2, the Coast Guard in Korea, and then served in the Marine Corps, and Navy. He went to VMI and graduated at age 22 and was 35 in 44. After the war he became a sherriff. He never spoke much about his wartime experiences and I would do anything to go back and meet him before his passing. Rest in Peace Captain F Perry Williams and the rest of the soldiers who sacrificed everything as boys and served in the war.

We were a beacon of hope.

About a year ago, my grandfather passed away. He didn't fight in WWII (he was only a teenager by then - and with Belgium being occupied, he didn't have much of an army to join), but he served with the Belgian S.A.S. post-war. When I grew up, we used to watch Band of Brothers together. And we kept re-watching, sharing his stories (from his time in the army, the shennanigans they did,...) and when he passed away, I decided that we should play on this song at his funeral. Every time I listen to this, I think of him. I miss you, my old friend.

He never saw combat in World War Two, but he did go to Germany in 1946, thus considering him a World War Two veteran by US standards. It was also at that time he met my grandmother in Munich. He went on to serve in Korea and Vietnam during those wars. After he passed away, I inherited his truck. The truck still has the stickers on it saying he was a veteran of all three of those wars. But I don't really remember him as a veteran. I respect him as one, but i love him as my grandfather. I will see him again one day, I'm sure of it. I'm not one to normally post stuff like this especially about my family, but i read your story, and i thought i'f tell you. Every word of it is true. I swear to it.

He didn't get to actually fight because his two older brothers were already fighting but he wanted to serve and to do all that he could. I am forever proud of my grandfather and everyone else who served then and now.

My neighbor fought in WWII in the U.S. Army. Never once did he talk about what happened during the war and I can't say that I blame him for not wanting to. My mom asked if he had anything left from the war like his uniforms or anything and he said "After I returned from the war and then got married to my lovely wife, I took all of my uniforms, folded them neatly, took all of my ribbons and medals, all the paperwork I had and placed it in a neat pile. I then dumped kerosene on them and set it all on fire." When she asked him why he did that, he told her "During that time, I have seen things no man should ever see, I have heard things no man should hear and I have seen many of my friends die out there and in my arms. Why should I have a piece of cloth or metal remind me of something so horrible when my memories will haunt me until I pass?" Though I do wish I knew where he was during the war, I am happy he was able to be such a great man until his passing a few years back.

I feel the deepest respect to those men and of course the men and women of other wars that were and will be fought. I was really angry at some of my classmates, some putted 'selfies' on social media where they were laughing on the graveyard with the graves of those men behind them. There is just so much disrespect towards them. So I just want you to know sir, that there are still some people who do think rational and know that it was not easy for you guys.

And it breaks my heart. I am twenty-five years old, and I am here to tell you that I love you and all of the soldiers that have, or currently do serve our country. Before I die, I want to go to Arlington to pay respect. But most of all, I want to walk among the soldiers of WWII. I am probably going to bawl my eyes out, hell, I'm about to cry now as I type. There are no words to describe how much I respect, admire and love all of those soldiers. The things that were sacrificed and done by your brave and outstanding generation, often times makes me wish I had been born back then, so that I could experience the company of such extraordinary men, personally. I wish I could hug every one of you and thank each of you personally. I only hope that the compassion those of us feel, and the knowledge that we hold of your generation never dies; that the torch will pass on so that the flame of your generation never fades. You were the bravest of men our country has ever known, in my eyes. God bless

People forget. They were boys. The average age was around 22 for enlisted, 26 for NCO’s and lower officers. Just imagine this country going to war now on that scale. Our society now will never make the sacrifices these boys did in order to ensure liberty and justice. Our 22 year olds today would rather join blm, antifa, make a tiktoc, dye their hair purple and burn down their own cities.

I love this series, partially because of my grandfather. My grandfather was a prisoner of war and survived the German death camp. Nearing the end of the war, the prisoners from the camp were shipped to Auschwitz, during that transport my grandfather and his friend managed to escaped. He managed to escape because of these brave soldiers pushing forward and the Germans started evacuating some of the camps. On his way back home he had to pass through the Ardens just after battle of the bulge, nothing was left standing accept the church. My grandfather was injured and weak and for a couple weeks he was taken care of by American soldier in their base. I remember my grandfather talking about an American lieutenant who had a crush on a local girl, but he didn’t speak French. My grandfather spoke french and he found out that the girl also like the lieutenant, so he set them up. My grandfather always wondered what became of those 2 love birds. It is thanks to all the brave soldiers and Easy company who sacrificed everything so that I could have pleasure and fortune to have known and loved my grandfather. My grandfather took care of me like my father, because my real father was never there. I miss him so bad..

+WAJG_96 Totally agree - I have watched most episodes over and over - and the actors were so good. Superb performance from Damien Lewis in his usual understated way.

These soldiers have my fullest respect. Those who did not return lost their lives. The survivors returned as broken men. Defeated in the deepest of the soul by a cruelty that is unimaginable. And despite this experience, we send our children over and over again in new battles.

My grandfather fought in WWII, he was in the artillery division. He remembered seeing these brave men every day from D-Day to the end of the war. He took part in the battle of the Bulge saving them from the Nazis. RIP to all who served.

I first heard this theme back when the show first first came out in 2001. I didn't remember much of the show then (likely because I wasn't allowed to actually watch it), but I remember how the the music brought me to the verge of tears when it would soar near the end. All these years later I still get that lump in my throat.

My Great Grandfather was a Lance Naik (Corporal) in the Bombay Light Infantry division of the British Indian army during WW2. He died along with 5000 other Indian bravehearts in Italy. I can feel this theme surge right into my heart. Salute to all those brave men, from all corners of the world, from all walks of life, who did the ultimate sacrifice to protect our world from stepping into a thousand years of darkness.

I dont know what i will be able to say to my grandchildren, about my life, about what i did in my life. My comfortable and peaceful life. I wish i was a hero like my grandad, he would call me a dumb fuck to say that, to think that fighting during a war is something that someone could wish. I guess i'll tell my grand children that their great-great grandpa was a poor Cajun boy from Louisiana who was sent in Europe to fight in France because he could speak French, that he came back with a purple Heart after he was injured in Aachen, Germany. I'll show them this purple heart, this Bronze star that i'll always have and tell them that if a grandfather like me is not a great exemple to follow, at least they have a blood and a name they can be proud of. As you would say in your Cajun French, "Laissez les bons temps rouler !" . Dieu te bénisse Grandpa. God bless our country

I am an amateur WWII historian with a small library and a few collectibles. I have learned many fascinating things about that war. One unrecognized thing is that there are many U.S. graves and small cemeteries throughout France and Europe. A long time ago I read that they were well kept by the local people. I hope the next generation sees fit to continue doing so.
