We Stand Alone Together - MOVIE REACTION - First Time Watching - BAND OF BROTHERS DOCUMENTARY

Unfortunately, we have seen Band of Brothers MANY times but Kelly had not seen the documentary We Stand Alone Together so we decided to react to it so all you BOB fans have something to watch on the channel. This is such an emotional documentary, we are grateful to all who have served our country and continue to serve.

When Heffron and Gaurnere revisited the woods outside of Foy, Bill told the camera crew to keep an eye out for his leg and to let him know if they find it! LOL

[@firstcityviews]

HAHAHA! From what little I know of Bill that sounds about right.

[@franciscoramirez4179]

What a Man! Malarkey said it Best that Gaurnere and Joe Toy where some of the bravest Man in the Company! Nothing but Respect for these Men!🙏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I am a combat vet. My father was 82nd Airborne WW II my brother was 173rd Airborne - Vietnam and I was 82nd Airborne - Vietnam . Thank you for this and may God bless you both for the rest of your life

[@firstcityviews]

Thank you for your service! God bless you.

[@BrianFast-n1h]

These men are truly part of our greatest generation. IMHO there is no question about that.

[@firstcityviews]

100%

[@davidyeo8731]

They weren't part of it, they were the reason for it.

[@orcanimal]

You know you're a real BOB fan when you can recognize the real Martin & Tipper in a second. Hat's off to you

[@firstcityviews]

We absolutely LOVE this series, watch it at least a few times per year. Me and my cousin stole the box set from my dad thinking it would just be a fun action series, we watched the whole thing in a little over 24 hours.

[@goyhoipolloi]

How can a person not just love, respect, and admire these men! They may not believe themselves to have been heros, but they are. They absolutely are. Real men. Good men. I would have loved to spent time with each of them hearing their stories about their lives. They are all amazing people and what wisdom and insight into life these men surely had. God bless them.

[@MrTech226]

In 2002's Primetime Emmy Awards, Band of Brothers won Best Miniseries; both Hanks and Spielberg had Winters do the acceptance speech while his company of men, surviving members of Easy Company were nearby hotel looked on.... Camera pointed at them, as Winters done his speech. Everyone, all the celebrities, writers, and directors gave them a huge standing ovation!! They won Best of everything because they saved the world from a madman.

[@moviewryter1985]

Nice reaction video. Thanks for sharing. I've been to Ketchikan. Such beautiful country where you live! Up until earlier this year i was living in the Pacific Northwest (Washington), about an hour north of Seattle, same city actually where Buck Compton (depicted in the movie) was living until the end of his life in 2012. How cool it would have been to meet so many of these men. So few veterans remaining today. And one of the greatest productions ever made for television. It makes you so aware and grateful for that generation; makes you want to talk to as many of them as possible (all in their 90s now, if still living) and hear their stories. God Bless

[@firstcityviews]

I have massive regret that I was never able to reach out to any of these men and express my gratitude and admiration, now I shower our current vets with thanks and praise.

[@corycody6967]

I was stationed in Anchorage in the 90’s. The girl I dated, her Dad had a cabin in Ketchikan. I wish I could have gone back to visit when I was back this summer.

[@rollomaughfling380]

01:41 I just subbed b/c of you guys doing this, but mostly b/c you said you're gonna do The Pacific. You snared me in there. As a former Marine, I'm here for it! Looking fwd to this reaction, tho, now.

[@firstcityviews]

Thank you for your service. We will definitely do The Pacific.

According to Babe, Jim Campbell received a "Dear John" letter from his wife two days before he was killed.

[@firstcityviews]

Brutal...

[@rangerscloud]

Ed Tipper's daughter, Kerry Tipper who was shown in this documentary is currently a politician in the Colorado House of Representatives. Correction, she's a former member, recently she was appointed Denver Deputy City Attorney.

[@firstcityviews]

I've heard that, she seems so young in the documentary but I guess it was filmed a long time ago.

[@rangerscloud]

@@firstcityviews ive heard that Ed Tipper had remarried a younger woman and she was born later in his life.

[@duanetelesha]

The series is called Masters of the Air, 8th Air Force based in England, also based on a book. USAF Vet.

[@firstcityviews]

Is the series out yet? I definitely want to check it out.

[@Dej24601]

Another interesting and entertaining feature on KZbin was a “video diary” done by Ron Livingston about the 2 week training period for the cast. You get to see Nixon’s wife, Grace, and see how the actors all bonded together.

[@firstcityviews]

Saw it a LONG time ago because it was included in the DVD box set but it might be worth a rewatch.

[@Dej24601]

@@firstcityviews I remember when I first saw it on dvd.! I really appreciated that each episode included visuals of a map of the area involved, a timeline of the events in that episode, explanations of soldier ranks, definitions of military terms and slang used, and other detailed information that increased my understanding. A wonderful boxed set!

[@firstcityviews]

@@Dej24601 I bought the box set for my dad for Christmas one year. It sat unopened on his shelf for 2 or 3 years because he's more a fan of old John Wayne war movies. One night out of boredom me and my cousin swiped it from their house thinking it would just be a fun watch. We ended up watching the entire series in a little under 48 hours. I think we got through the first 6 episodes in the first night. This series has a special place in my heart, my dad has still never seen it LOL.

[@Dej24601]

@@firstcityviews wow! Great memory. Maybe if your Dad sees Saving Private Ryan, he might be curious to try BOB. Hanks & Spielberg were inspired to create BOB after doing SPR.

[@firstcityviews]

@@Dej24601 We actually watched Private Ryan together, that's why I know he doesn't care for more realistic war movies LOL. He did like it but I could tell it rattled him a bit, he is a Vietnam vet and he DEFINITELY does not like Vietnam movies.

[@BryonLape]

Apparently what the US soldiers didn't know about the leg bag was to hold it when jumping out and then letting it dangle.

[@firstcityviews]

That's wild!

[@-Knife-]

This was a brilliant documentary.

[@firstcityviews]

Absolutely, still brought me to tears and I've seen it a dozen times.

[@MrTech226]

One vet stated that he is an only child; after WWII, Pentagon enacted new policy called Sole Survivor Policy making vets like him ineligible for service. Policy stated that families with an only child, son or now daughter cannot be drafted or enlisted into service. Policy was enacted after cases of brothers been killed in actions with two well-known: Sullivans and Borgstroms.

[@daddynitro199]

The official podcast is really solid as well. Lots of interviews with the actors and EP Erik Jendresen. The host took some getting used to, but the interviews are brilliant. I’m not sure if your knowledge of the Compton/McDonough coincidences includes the fact that just after BoB, he played a LA district attorney on the short lived Boomtown, but I found that interesting.

[@firstcityviews]

I've seen a few clips from the podcast, definitely need to check out more of it, and yes I remember him talking about how he played a district attorney, can't remember much of the other coincidences but I know there were many.

[@orcanimal]

I'm assuming you've listened to the HBO BOB podcast? It got released about 1-2 years ago. It's 10 episodes, appropriately, and each episode is an interview with a different cast/production stff memeber (including Tom Hanks, Neal McDonough, Damian Lewis, and Matthew Settle, Speirs' actor). In the one with Wild Bill's actor he tells some fantastic stories about the real Guarnere, with whom he was in a close relationship with, and about the time when the real Guarnere and Heffron came to visit the BOB set. It's really good

[@firstcityviews]

I believe I've only seen the one with David Schwimmer, need to check out the rest of them.

[@nichtdiemamattv]

What does should tell us seeing that? NEVER i mean fr NEVER let hate and all that stuff take over again. Thats what im telling myself watching stuff like that. We should learn out of that. And kids growing up (at a specific age) should be shown documentarys like that. Let the past have the right impact for the future.

[@keithsimpson6563]

Hey have you guys seen The Pacific yet? Its like totally assume

[@firstcityviews]

I (Tracy, the guy) have seen it but it was a LONG time ago and I was going through some pretty heavy personal stuff, so I don't know how much I retained. Kelly has not seen it, so it is DEFINITELY on the list.

[@edwinbekedam1845]

This must see when you have enjoyed the series.

[@firstcityviews]

We absolutely LOVED the series, watched it for the first time probably 15 years ago, watch it at least once a year ever since.

[@Hertfordtownontour22]

Watch band of brothers next

[@firstcityviews]

Unfortunately we've seen it dozens of times, The Pacific is definitely on the list though.

[@OldDogVT]

WETSU

[@fungun7414]

You can watch BoB again! Just be open with the fact that you saw it already. Add some more in deepth commentary instead?

[@firstcityviews]

Hahaha, I already have been chastised for talking too much during a reaction to a film I've already seen, go check out our Saving Private Ryan video, plenty of angry people who did not appreciate my more in depth analysis. I'm not sure anyone would enjoy us rewatching BoB, it would just be a lot of "Oh I love this part!". I might try to do an entire series review where we watch short clips and talk about our favorite parts. We are probably going to watch The Pacific.

[@fungun7414]

Angry people should not get to decide....ha ha!

[@firstcityviews]

Very true and it still has mostly positive feedback but the outcry was enough to make me rethink watching stuff I've already seen.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

side note: you both have unisex names. coincidence? 🙂

[@firstcityviews]

We play a game when we meet new people, the person introducing us says "this is Tracy and Kelly" and we quickly interject with "guess who is who!" They usually guess correctly though.

[@rollomaughfling380]

@@firstcityviews Funny, but weird comment, though. Why would they be hung up on that?

[@firstcityviews]

@@rollomaughfling380 It's cool, we're buddies. It's actually a comment that has come up a lot. Trust me, I've been through grade school as a boy named Tracy, if it bothered me that much I would have offed myself by now lol.
