I need to watch “A Band of Brothers”.
I heard it was just GREAT.
If today’s yoots, especially minority, were to be taught about real and brutal sacrifice and REAL hardship, they might have more of an appreciation for what they have.
I know it makes me appreciate things more.
Remembering sacrifices like these are especially helpful in those “poor me” self pity moments (i get them too) over things that just ARENT that bad.
I really hope you watch ‘ A Band of Brothers ‘.
It’s unlike any WWII movie / series I have ever seen. I’ve watched it at least three times. I think it’s the best ever produced.
Before each episode begins, one or two of the original paratroopers speak about their experiences. It’s quite moving.
People to whom I have recommend the series are always pleased to have viewed it.
Both “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific” are available on Amazon Prime for free. The “Band of Brothers” miniseries follows Stephen Ambrose’s book almost exactly. “The Pacific” miniseries takes some dramatic license and veers off of the books that it was based on a tiny bit but it is still an excellent series. I read both “Helmet for my Pillow” by Robert Leckie and “With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa” by Eugene Sledge. “The Pacific” was based on those books. I highly recommend both. I also would urge you to watch both of those miniseries. Great drama.
