  • I've never done this before, but i think 10 people were so damn teary eyed, they missed the like button

  • Comment removed

  • This and the Civil War series by Ken Burns are, by far, the greatest creations for either television or the big screen . . . masterpieces in their own right . . . and I don't know which I like better! I suppose each has it's own place for me. Absolutely perfect!

  • This will forever change the way I say the Pledge of Allegiance

  • Freedom is Never free. RIP to all those who gave it all <3

  • This kind of thing of thing makes me outraged at kids in my grade. They say pledge of alligance like they don't care at all. People like Joe toy sacrificed themselves for this country and they cant give them 30 seconds of respect....pitiful..

  • @tompd9 The pledge of allegiance has nothing to do with respecting soldiers. If you want to respect soldiers, you can do that on your own time. No one should be forced or expected to respect our soldiers and support war in school.

  • @Liface Its pitiful that you think this. Who's blood was spilt to ensure the flight of the stars and stripes? Who's limbs were lost, to allow others to have the freedom to work and be themselves today? Who's faith was tested, so that others may practice it freely here? Who's security was broken, so that others may feel secure in their own home? These men, these few lucky men, were the brothers, saying the pledge of allegiance is a remembrance to those lost. For all gave some, and some gave all.

  • @Liface It may not have the words referred to our brave soldiers, but it is the proud symbol of those who lost some, and those who lost all, so that you can trample on their pride saying that that pledge is nothing but words.

  • Simply amazing. The sacrifice these men gave for this great country.

  • Awesome. The last line says it all.

  • in the summer of 2010 i met dick winters and talked to him for a while he was a really nice gut to and later on i learned that during korean war my grandfather met him the same date 60 years before while going through a old photo album true story

  • lol i cried...such a good ending :( Poor webster

  • Thank you to all Vets !!!!!!!

  • America will never be as strong as we once were... it's sad to see us losing our faith and morals we once had

  • @robicano123 ..Agreed

  • Wow...many cried in the comments section...not being disrespecful...but jeez, don't cry and earn what you can thank these men...

  • "are you a hero?" "no, but i served in a company of heroes"

  • I cry every time I watch this movie. I cry out of sorrow... for the men who died and the ones who live. These men alive have such a burdened memory to live with for the rest of our lives. I salute all the men in WWII. Thank you.

  • i have no eyes left from all the crying...what a fab mini-series....well done to all at HBO and a special mention to tom hanks.......xxxx(reg)

  • This is the best ending ever! It's hard to say but yes, I cried. Because of these men, we are watching this video and without them, most of us would be dead.

  • All who have held arms and served their countries, no matter what race or religion, R.I.P.

  • Since the series aired, RIP to Winters, Martin, Lipton, Randelman, Powers, Spiers and any of the others I have missed....

  • @prg1972a RIP is right.. these men were my idols growing up, and i'm just sad i never got around to writing to them- especially Winters

  • Thank you for your sacrifice and our freedom. Thank you for liberating my country, dropping weapons to my grandfather to help him fighting Germans. You won't be forgotten. Never.

  • @deckarudo to help fight Nazis!

  • I only have one thing to say, R.I.P to ALL who died, and THANK YOU for our FREEDOM!

  • I honestly was in tears when I first saw the ending. After following these men through ten episodes and the entire war, it feels like you actually know them. It was very heartbreaking to think of the brothers that did not make it to play that final baseball game. Thank you all for serving

  • very sad how some of these heroes died after the war =(..but they rest in peace now =)

  • "from this day to the ending of the world, we in it shall be remembered, we lucky few, we band of brothers. For he who today sheds his blood with me today, shall be my brother"

  • They should make a series on da koren war

  • Dick Winters, one humble humble man

  • Am i the only one who read the book before they even made the series? :\

  • Ordinary men.

    Exceptional heroes.

  • everytime i watch these series I think about this quote.

    It is the soldier, not the reporter,

    who has given us freedom of the press.

    It is the soldier, not the poet,

    who has given us freedom of speech.

    It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,

    who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

    It is the soldier, not the lawyer,

    who has given us the right to a fair trial. thank you so much, you`ll be hero`s forever

  • The End of Band of Brothers brought tears in my eyes...just so heart touching...great great great TV series ever!!!

  • que buena serie ,,,no conocia que esta gente existio y que hicieron tantas cosas por la paz y la libertad de los pueblos y luchar contra la miseria humana ,,,que dominar el mundo .....

  • I cried at this part, don't know why, but I did.

  • a different time

  • I live in the same city Harry Welsh became school administrator of.

  • I love Goerge Luz. This is such a fantastic series.

  • wat about popeye and garcia

  • "...no, but I served in a company of heroes."

    well said, sergeant.

  • The most epic mini-series in the history of anything WWII related, on HBO before or since, and in the history of Television itself. The theme song is even epic. God, I love this show and these men. I get choked up as soon as I see this final scene.

  • Quick question: in this episode, Liebgott, Webster and someone else go and kill a Nazi commandant. Who was the other guy?

  • @The3rdBellic98 It was Wayne 'Skinny' Sisk. :)

  • These guys all turned out to be amazing people. I have HUGE respect for my grandpa. He was in the pacific, and worked hard to be come a successful car dealer after the war. He's my biggest role model ever along with all these.

  • Could you imagine what it must be like to make it through that?

  • to all my fellow Infantrymen Past Present Future , Thank you HOOAH!

  • Emotional stuff.

    Sadly only war creates men like these.

    Each time I carry the flag draped coffin of a WWII Veteran to his resting place I am reminded of this fact.

    We shall some day hear similar stories about the the Sandbox, exceptional men in extraordinay circumstances.

  • ah hell, this gets me sad as crap :(

  • Comment removed

  • my grandfather born and raised in Mexico served in WW2 and is a survivor off Utah beach in Normandy. He never spoke to us about the war but he past away 1 year ago, after his funeral a soldier told me he was part of the 4th Infantry Division that took the Beach.

  • During a visit in 1994 to the "Eagle's Nest," Hitler's mountain top retreat in Bavaria, I met a fellow who had been i the 101st when it took the place. He told me that everyone in his unit got a momento of he visit: a piece of a carpet in the place. Fun!

  • its amazing what war movies and minseris mr spileberge can make he needs to do more stuff like this

  • Oh and I think Sobel shot himself but died later.

  • This is the first youtube vid which brought me to tears. Thank you Tom Hank, Steven Spielberg, Winters, Guarnere , Toye (who wasn't mentioned), Bull, Hoobler (who died), Roe, Nixon and so many more. ;)

  • This part of the show killed me lol

  • Major Dick Winters will be missed very much... RIP :( x

  • Where is captain sobel

  • @rmkb10334 He hung himself after the war... I don't know exactly why but that's what I read somewhere, Search it and you'll probably find out.

  • @rmkb10334 He was bitter to E Company after the war. Guarnere tried to get ihim involved in meeting up with old company members, but refused. He shot himself in the head, but survived until 1988.

  • I watched this show for the first time there recently and I cried at that ending. They were true heroes.

  • Agreed superDubnut.....truly they are the greatest generation.

  • "grandpa were you a hero in the war?"

    "no but i served in a company of heroes"

    RIP all who fought and died, regardless of nationality and colour.

  • its sp sad that less than 10% of these guy are still alive. it makes me sad every time i think about it. every time i see one i always shake their hand and thank them

  • One of the best series I have ever seen!

  • wher's LT Edward Shames at ?

  • The best part in Lipton quoting Henry the fifth: "from this day, to the ending of the world, we in it shall be remebered, we lucky few, we band of brothers. For he who today sheds his blood with me, shall be my brothers "

    My god!

    PS: I'm not sur of what he said exactly, I'm french so maybe i made a mistake

  • @bcayet

    i agree..these people were..so much more than anyone we will see...thats what i believe

  • I've read the book before watching the serie. It's quite different and some times i regret the choice of the producers not to introduce some characters omportant in the book in the serie...

    The book is moresad, we feel more the tough life of those soldier during the war, their feelings, the links they made with their fellows and in a matter of facts i felt clother of them than after watching the HBO serie.

    A strange feeling

  • I fricken cry my eyes out everytime i watch this, god bless all who sacrificed for a better future

  • granpa were you a hero in the war

    granpa said no....but i served in a company of heroes

    the way he says it....i dont think even god knows how he felt

  • Easy company is the best company ever!!

  • people who see the series need to read the book

  • @16Gbass

    The book was VERY good. It goes very well if you have read then seen the series or seen the series and then read the book.

  • @HolyDeltaWings Lol I cried at the end of the book as well. The best description of Winters at the end of the book.

  • @HolyDeltaWings

    Same goes with reading "With the Old Breed" and then watching The Pacific or vice versa. It tells you alot that you wouldn't learn from the TV series.

  • @16Gbass I must say, I hate the book. I am currently reading it and I have seen to major flaws.

    1: He introduces many unexplained terms (N.C.O, C.O, X.O, etc.), which as the reader, it confuses me. However he does explain other terms within the book (such as DZ, drop zone). This is very bothersome.

    2: I remember different characters in the movie series for different reasons, mainly because I remember their faces. The author introduces small bits of the characters without any sort way to

  • @Emmercedes NCO-Non Commissioned Officer CO- COmmanding Officer

  • @16Gbass (continued) remember them, and then he'll mention them later. So I am like... who the heck is that?

    But despite the book, very inspiring story, and I honor those men in the book and displayed in the movie, I hope they are happy in real life.

  • @16Gbass Agreed. I read it when I was in Europe in 08. It was funny cause we were right in Cologne when it talked about them visiting there.

  • I feel so proud.Thank you all the soldiers that fought the war for us.We will never forget you.Especially Major D. Winters.

  • This series is the greatest in history, by far. I cry like a bitch every time I see this, no matter what episode I`m watching. We owe our lives to these guys, and it just isn`t enough to say "thank you".

    I`m now 31 years of age, and I have been fortunate enough to have a family. I love them above anything. I try to live my life in peace together with them and to make the most out of my life. I just wish all of these guys could have had the same chances as I do. Thank you... for my life.. RIP...

  • @LordBeia

    and not just them,every one in the allied army

  • Always brings a lump to my throat. Respect.

  • I feel sad for the people who couldn't make it :(

  • masterpiece... enough said.

  • RIP Major Winters

  • These men were the real heroes. Not only did they serve, they went above and beyond. But let us not forget those who didn't return home, having a cross somewhere at the mile long stretch of lawn covered in crosses for those long dead. We shall never forget. Nor shall we ever lose the faith we have in today's heroes, men and women who everyday, give their all for the freedom we all charish. If you don't believe that, then you're hopeless, and you're not a real American.

  • wheres joe toye? and bill

    CURRAHEE!!!

  • Imagine in 10 to 15 years all WW2 vets(of all nations) will have passed away. WW2 was the last war fought for True freedom. In the coming years many stories will be lost and can only be found in documents. In 50 years they sadly would be forgotten. (well in 50 years nations will fight for resources, life will be hard, and america, over populated)but thats not the point.Heroism was truly tested in this war. But not in modern wars. All i can say is god grant these remaining vets longer and happie

  • Only 4 of these brave men still live: Malarkey, Compton, Guarnere and Perconte. May all the others Rest in the Peace many of them never saw.

  • The man who was writing in the journal is still alive today he lives somewhere in pennsylvania which is neat, because its only a couple hors away.

  • God Bless Our Troops, in Jesus Almighty name:)

  • How would you react when your commanding officer gathers you and your squad up and announce that the war was officially over? Cheer, laugh, cry, or... like these folks... sit there, stare at your officer. and let it sink in? If you ask me... I'll just be like these guys.

  • GEORGE LUZ!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This got me so hard. Just sooooo...I can't explain it.

  • every time i watch the whole series, and i watched it at least 20 times, it always gives me chills and tears to my eyes at this final scene where winters is talking about his brothers in arms....

    "....grandpa were you hero in the war???" Grandpa said no. "But i served in the company of heroes"

    AMAZING SERIES

  • King Henry V:... We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother...

  • "We lucky few, We band of brothers"

  • last two episodes makes me cry every time I watch it :) truly beatiful series about soldiers :)))

  • Richard Winters died on Jan. 10, 2011. He will be sorely missed.

  • Was an operator small nothing, of a big something, I can say with a full heart, am eyes filled with tears. I was not a hero in a war but a served in a company of heroes. To all my band of brothers that stayed back in the sand, mountains, may God receive u with open arms,I'll rotate there someday, "bleed in bleed out"

  • From this day to the ending of the world, we and it shall be remembered, we lucky few; we band of brothers , for he who today sheds his blood with me shall be my brother

  • randleman is a big motherfucker...

  • For those that think we forget...... My grandfather was a hero earning a medal from the king at Vimy Ridge, his brother died on the shores of Normandy years later. My uncle enlisted in the second world war, the eldest son of a war veteran. And myself.... I was declined from enlisting due to health but the dream never dies.

    I don't want glory or fame I want what they wanted to send families home to each other to give dignity to those stripped of it.

    God bless those that make this sacrifice.

  • It saddens me to think that future generations are probably going to forget about these heroes... Just like people forgot about World War 1 heroes...

    I promise that I will try my best to honor those who died in this war for the rest of my life, and make sure that our children know who those men were, and what they fought for.

    Thank you for your sacrifice.

  • @HandlessGAMER I hope not because all it takes for evil to triumph is good men to do nothing

  • It's hard not to shed tears after watching this series...

  • the look of underachievement in there eyes at first is kind of odd. Because you would think that they would be jumping up and down with joy yet when they finally got to go home they had to say now what. They had been through hell together and dreamed about going home from the first time they had been in combat yet once they finally heard they were going home they had realized that there's no good in goodbye.

  • i agree, our generation is nowhere as good as this

  • Puts a lump in my throat every single time i see this. A beautiful ending to a masterpiece.

    I feel as though i know every one of these men, but i dont even live on the same continent.

    Truly the "Greatest Generation".

    RIP all members of Easy and the Allied Forces.

  • @SuperDubnut RIP All Forces. Friend or Foe. While I hate Adolf and the several savage nazi's, it doesn't mean we should hate all axis forces. Forgive, but do not forget, and learn from the mistakes.

  • @SuperDubnut It hurts to see this generation. They were real men. I look at my peers who are 14-16, almost the age where you put in your name for the draft, and I think to myself, "with all that could happen in the next years, will these boys be able to do half as well as those men seventy years ago?" It's scary that so many of them are dead now or very old. I only wish I could have lived back then when chivalry was the mood.

  • @SuperDubnut And the axis soldiers...

  • Comment removed

  • best series ever saddest ending ever and does any1 no what happened to joe toy and i wish they made a couple more episodes inbetween if it was possible

  • @MrTroyboy010 Joe Toye died in 1995.

  • Best generation in the history of mankind.

  • @Brodemir Wrong. Every generation, in ALL of America's War's share that title.

  • @Ryuu501st Wrong. That was the last one IMO

  • After I saw almost all episodes in one take. It was impossible to not cry watching this scene.

  • "were you a hero in the war grandpa?, " no i was not, but i served in a company of heroes" :')

  • The men and women that have served before me are the inspiration I will take with me when I walk into the recruiters office and sign up to serve my country.

    RIP Major Winters.

  • J'ai des frissons chaque fois j'écoute c'est 7minute 32 second.... Vraiment.... Bravo!....

  • Forever Remembered and Respected.

    Another great scene is the "church one" when Easy Company guys sit and listen to christmas carols and the dead ones "fade and disappear". Very moving...

    Cheers from the Czech Rep!

  • im an englishman god bless the americans and english servicemen who died in the war

  • Amazing soldiers, amazing men. They deserve the utmost respect from all of us.

    Thanks for your service, R.I.P Major Winters.

  • Bill Guarnere is the best!

  • @TheMisterWarfare haha yea Guarere is such a goof, i say that with the utmost respect

  • I'm hardcore judging the ignorant souls that disliked this video. Major side-eye going on. These men are heroes, and this depiction of them is brilliant.

  • 9 people are fucking communists!

  • @chickenchokedback that makes no sense...Germany wasnt communist, it was fascist (these 2 ideals clash significantly). Russia was the communist country, so was China. Both of them were on the sides of the Allies.

  • Sandlot???

  • i cant help it i all ways get teary eyes when i think of these men thank you

  • All of the work that these men have done for our country, and you have the balls to Dislike this video commemerating and honoring these men? Shame on all of you, really. You should feel ashamed.

  • Thank you.

  • For all man who died so I have my freedom! I SALUTE YOU AND THANK YOU! God bless your souls and watch over your families

  • "From the beginning to the end, you in it shall be remembered, for you shed your blood for me, you are my heros, you are my brothers"

  • y 9 people???

  • 9 People will perish in hell

  • WW2 vets really are the greatest heroes of the last 1000 years. Bar non.

  • Why is it that pop stars get more attention than people who really matter?

  • Comment removed

  • the DISLIKERS havent got any respect for the soldiers who fought this war!

  • Best series EVER!!!!!

  • Why this series is so moving and fantastic?

  • @DKDamilos Because it's real, it's humain

  • allied troops heroes one and all RIP major Winters

  • "...As a testament to his character 1600 people attended his funeral..." I love that, it makes me cry... This whole scene makes me cry... Best show ever made

  • I challenge any grown man, the toughest of the tough to not shed a tear at 6:36 onward. Rest in peace Mr. Winters, America owes its all to you.

  • Easy kick some ass in the war :)

  • Waffen-SS voted negative!

  • Band of Brothers is still the best war film/series i have seen to this day. To every solider who lost their lives, no matter the side, you'll be remembered for being a apart of it. The ending always get me, real tear jerker!

  • i just finished the book by Stephen Ambrose, my eyes are now open more than ever to the sacrifice of a soldier during WWII. My respect for these men will never falter and to be able to speak to one about their experiences would be an honor. God bless those living and dead that served in this band of brothers and god bless the soldiers of that time.

  • from this dat til th end of the world

    we in it shall be remembered

    we BAND OF BROTHERS

    for who ever sheds his blood with me

    is my brother.
