Back in the day I served with the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division for 4yrs. I was a Huey Helicopter crew chief, and I loved my job. I am 63yrs old, and I have never felt closer to any human being than I felt, and still feel for the men in my Company. Thank you for this wonderful tribute. Stand up, Buckle up, Shuffle to the door...WINGS OF THE EAGLE!
@kaychi 2 fronts yes. Im an american and i support us but lets be serious. The western front was a joke compared to the Eastern Front with the Russians, the hardest fought battles of ww2 were on the eastern front. Then the pacific.
@ContinentalPatriot okay that is a load of shit... do some research the western battles were way harder to get through and also the only reason you think the eastern front was alot tougher is due to the fact there were way more countries involves which in turn means more casualties.. seriously do some research casualties dont mean everything in statistics of a battle you have to look at the whole thing.. hence the equipment involved number of soldiers etc etc
@kaychi you can say some countrys faught harder like the russians using bare equipment that was out of date and they were up against all odds by the german empire and they used sheer hatred to fuil their war but i think every country no matter witch side all soilders should be honoured as they all faught and died for the cause THEY thought was right
Wow i don't think I could kill anyone I get sad from watching it on movies :( On Another Note That Was fucking cool It Went in Sync :) RIP Every soldier Of WW2 Allies And Axis
@atlronaldodrengen620 Technically while they were an Airborne unit their designation was 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Whe not on Airborne status a Parachute Infantry Regiment becomes an Infantry Regiment.
Not entirely sir, there is still have a glimmer of hope. There are a handful of young men out there (such as myself, I am 14) that I believe can save this nation from, as you so gently put it, 'being fucked.' In case somebody was wondering, I'm no nerd or geek, just a smart kid that understands the meaning of the word "respect". Sometimes I really do wish the youth of today would just grow the fuck up..
You would probably end up surprised, the Youth of today will probably end up working a lot harder then their parents ever did, most of the work being fixing their parents mistakes.
My naive' young friend.A monster is a monster,when you're young he lives in your closet.When you grow older it's then you realize monsters do exist,and unfor. evil is real.In many forms,it takes and changes it's shape but it's real.You're in denial and someone should have taught you better.WW 2,had it's monster that was confronted by forces of good,today that evil still remains and is every bit the threat.You're eyes are closed as is much of the youth of today.
@niagra898 oh my eyes are wide open my friend ik WWII was against a monsterous tyrant but u ignore the fact that today it's utter non-sense we went to iraq for oil and nothing more they lied about finding WMD's in iraq ask around at the troops they're agianst the war just as much as everyone else get ur facts straight and ik monsters aren't real except in the ancient times and in hell u must be one heck of a kid to rlly think i'm a kid
My Grandfather Served in 101st Airborne His plane was blown up he was standing in door. But he made it out alive and he is alive today also Thanks for honoring the Marines, soldier, Paratroopers, Sailors fighter pilots and What ever else. ATEN HUT!
i am also an ex paratrooper, airborne all the way,this song is touching, we shall never forget those paras who fought,killed in battles while liberating europe during WWII
"The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that
America sacrificed a lot of their children to liberate Europe. All of them R.I.P. and respect will always be due. But as much as I look up to them who died for us for the right cause the more disenchanted I get about US Foreign Policy. Not only in recent years but by looking back at least 40 years.
Yes, they did fight hard. No one's saying they didn't. They all deserve respect.
However, I wasn't looking to tell their story here. I wanted to tell the story of the 101st Airborne, featuring the 506th PIR. I served with the 101st ABN. I have an attachment to them.
We honor our heroes, as much as any other nation does for theirs. How many status of American leaders grace your home town? How many German leaders have memorials in your cities?

It was the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR).
Today, they are just known as the 506th Infantry, because they aren't technically airborne anymore.
