[@MrOystein1977]

Some people got celeberties like Karashdians and other reality "famous" etc as heroes.. People like THIS is MY hero.. A legend walking. How i would like to shake hands with him..Today im gonna wathc Band of Brothers again...

[@kbanghart]

Sure, you're better than them. Lol

[@yacobshelelshaddai4543]

I’m here coz I just finished watching band of brothers, again. This time the entire show in less than 24 hrs lol. Think I need to join the army already and stop obsessing lol.

[@pmccoy8924]

We've since lost both these men. God Bless you both. Thank you.

[@DG-lv3hy]

It's an honor to listen to the Col.Thank You Ed.

[@cyprescrow]

I'm not an American. But it truly is an honor to be in the presence of the Col, even if it's through a video. The men of Toccoa were something special.

[@jgonzalez101]

Wow, so awesome to hear these 101st Airborne WWII Veterans tell their experiences and stories! May God bless them. Those that have gone on, may they rest in peace.❤️🙏🇺🇸🦅

[@marionunez7637]

What a great interview!

[@roowke]

In the words of my dear friend Ed Shames: "Well, I'll be damned!" I didn't see this one before. Great to see this vid. Thank you for making it and sharing it. Will be posting the link to some of my Facebook pages. Thank you so much.

[@leeneale8776]

[@carlT1986]

I lived near Taccoa and met many amazing PIR men at the annual reunion. Amazing men. To copy Tom Selleck as Ike: We may never see their like again.

[@sunstatejon1928]

THIS IS KILLER TO LISTEN TO THANKS

[@nealsadventures9258]

I just visited Camp Toccoa and went up Currahee mountain, which was a surreal experience to say the least! This video was so awesome and I wish I would have been there when these events were taking place! I also wish there were more videos like this which interview the guys in the places they trained and fought. This is gold!

[@cheefsmokealot4479]

Truly the greatest generation! I always stop what I’m doing to listen to their words of wisdom. They defeated the two great evils of German Nazis and Imperial Japan. I’m proud to have been raised by the greatest generation and been surrounded by them most of my life. I cherish all they have taught me. I miss them very much. 😆😆🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@moharak]

Bad ass. RIP sir.

[@fiacmar]

I bet them boys polished them damn boots.

[@unitedwestand5100]

The boots they had on are desert boots. (Modern era.) I dont think you can spit shine them. They were not regulation in his day, or mine. That's what he was referring to.

[@unitedwestand5100]

@~Steve~ ,m jump boots have no tread, and are useless in the field. Not to mention the cold. Jump boots are for parades, not combat...

[@1225Media]

I have ONE Question! Who are the 5 “knuckleheads” who downvoted this fine man’s video!

[@JamesBray-qm8gr-q3w]

They did a disservice to COL Shames in Band of Brothers! You can tell even so late in years in this video, that he was a tough son of a bitch and great leader and officer! In the HBO series they said he always yelled. But there are times when that is required to get men moving when artillery or other deadly fire is raining down on them in combat !!! Thanks you for your Service!

[@unitedwestand5100]

He's funny as all get out. Love him. Lol

[@stevenporter1952]

They aren’t called the “Greatest Generation” for nothing. RIP you brave soles and heroes.

[@305dadecounty_grabberbluem5]

506 was the most Elite unit of it's day....each member at the utmost peak of physical fitness. As well as you can train a man at that time.

[@dr.barrycohn5461]

Col. Shames is a hero of the real type.

[@mameshiba691]

Three miles up! Three miles down!

[@justingreene3667]

you can tell he just misses his friends and being there on currahee.

[@Firekeeper61]

Love these Fine men.!

3 miles up....3 miles down!!

[@_.-266]

WOW....THAT'S MY AMERICA...RIGHT HERE!!!

[@travisaldous2294]

my dear friend

[@ADOTlied]

Dam what an American, I'd love to thank Ed in person.

[@palashmatt1435]

❤

[@The.Original.Potatocakes]

I think the Germans tried the parachute troopers before anyone other country(including us).

[@paulward4395]

They are some hero's all of them.

[@pengamy5536]

👍👍👍💪🇺🇸🌎🌅🇺🇸💪👏👏👏

[@mustafakemal3600]

Ed. Shames has just passed away. Here is a great video about this hero! RIP kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2GsoaVunbGlfZI

[@johnguz76]

Too bad he had to go up there to see it trashed like that.

[@charlesgantz5865]

The men portraying soldiers need to be told to take their hand's out of their pocket's.

[@JWSSpeedo]

Amazing how all the spectators like me are chubby.

[@davsim4116]

Unfortunately It sounds to me like He is embellishing the part he did play. He has to put others down to make himself look good

[@NoelG702]

Those girls singing at the end was pretty bad. It's like they were scared to project their voice and not singing loud enough and they are out of tune with their harmonies. It's almost like they are scared and timid. Big red riding hood on the right needs to run Curahee a couple times lol.

[@kbanghart]

Relax

[@leroysmith3479]

I bet COL Shames could chew some ass in his younger days.
