Richard Speight talks about Skip Muck in Tonawanda

Richard Speight talks about Skip Muck at the "All Heroes Monument" dedication in Tonawanda, NY on July 3, 2010.

It touches me that he treats this man and his memory with such care. He never forgets this was a real man , with his own life and hopes.

I can't imagine a better actor to cast glory on Skip's memory than Richard Speight, jr. This just proves it. Skip was a hero. If I ever go to Luxembourg am I gonna find his grave and pay my respect, for he was a hero. They all were.

Just been there 10 min. ago, visited him, Penkala and Christensen. Took pics that i shared on facebook...

I know that several of the actors from Band of Brothers took a great interest in the men they portrayed, but I don't think any did so more than Richard Speight, Jr. did. It's very inspiring and pays a great homage to not just Skip Muck, but all those who have given their lives in the service of our country.

Proud to be so closely related to him

[@EvandroMartinsB]

Great Tribute! RIP.

I know a lot of people are probably watching this because of Skip Muck, but he also mentions the Niland Brothers who were from Tonawanda as well and who were the brothers that inspired the story of 'Saving Private Ryan'...

[@xDutchAqua]

+tuffgongc9 He or Misha also mention the Niland Brothers with a Supernatural panel, and i'm trying to find that video on youtube..

Son, that was so well spoken...I have tears in my eyes. Thank You, Richard

I was blessed enough to visit Skip grave in Luxembourg October last year. It was a sobering and emotional moment to be in that cemetery and be able to pay my respects. I placed a 101st challenge coin on both his and Penkala's grave. I hope that I can be half a man that both these and the thousands of their brothers in arms were throughout my long and free life. Thank you Sergeant Warren 'Skip' Muck.

Truly moving and heartfelt. Beautifully spoken, Richard. ❤️ Skip would be so proud of you for how you honor his legacy. ❤️❤️

[@WarThunder-zt4xw]

A great speech well said!

[@kbanghart]

so sad how he and Penkala got hit.

[@jacquibourdeau441]

These are the hero’s that we all should emulate. Never forget what Skip and others sacrificed so we can live the lives we have today.

Skip Muck too and that's was awesome portrait I the series. Greetings from Bulgaria. Rip Skip. And more making of that kind of films. Heroes must be remembered. I admire all allied soldiers Easter front and Western front.

[@CarltonLowry]

This is truly a great tribute. Thank you, Eileen for making this open to everyone.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

An amazing tribute to an amazing man! This memorial is much deserved, and thanks to Richard for speaking!

[@SarahG436]

Beautifully said.

[@Loneponderer92]

Does he say at the start that his grandmother was skips childhood sweetheart. Hell of a connection if so.

[@gracetaylor6200]

"I'm not a relative, my grandfather didn't serve with him, my grandmother wasn't his childhood sweetheart." So no, no connection. He's just explaining that he's no one special, but that he still admires and feels a connection to this man.

[@idkyeah6214]

Very well said

[@pickitup7008]

beautiful speach!

[@boebagie]

Amazing tribute for a great man!

[@davidmyers4252]

Great American Hery Thank You Men

[@K333-j1n]

Richard Speit is full of artistism.

[@erinramsey9297]

Wow. Just woe

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

It had to be so weird to play one of the guys who died in combat when so many of the other actors could actually go meet the real guys.

[@craigmcintosh7241]

My homeie!

[@Indomitable_Alykat]

From everything I've heard & read about him, Skip was sunshine in human form. Never had a bad word to say about anybody & had the biggest heart for others. All of the guys played their characters with such respect & care but I'm so grateful for the way that RSJ in particular continues to keep Skip's memory alive. Don Malarkey himself was deeply touched by the way that RSJ portrayed his best friend & the two of them truly developed a lasting bond. Brings tears to my eyes tbh. 🥺💖
