Moderator – Kirk Saduski, Playtone Executive

You’ll note that twenty years later they still refer to Dale Dye as “Captain” or “Sir”. Solid training, genuine respect.

Captain Dye telling the actors "I love you" in the end was priceless.

I have watched BoB about 25 times. It is easily the most significant and powerful thing ever put on film.

[SticksAandstonesBozo]

That museum is absolutely incredible. I can’t wait to go back. It’s worth a trip to solely go to it. Tom hanks and Steven Spielberg made a 4D movie you can only see and experience there … I’m so happy when I went one of the Higgins boat operators was there to speak too.

[tiffsaver]

They should declare Dale Dye a National Treasure.

[WTP_DAVE]

The way that Captain Dye stands to speak, speaks volumes about him.

Great job CPT Dye and cadre. You can't watch Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan and not believe you are watching real soldiers. They have the look, they wear the equipment, and they act like soldiers. Job well done Sir--Semper Fi!

[jennymontague]

I feel like I'm a part of all this. When I'm lonely or sad, I just tune in to one of these sessions or watch a podcast, and I'm ok again. You all feel like family to me. Love you all.❤

[agesmith]

There’s a reason why serving soldiers respect these men so highly and what to show that gratitude, is that they tell the story of the veterans but also and how it is to train, serve and fight for your comrades. Your brothers in arms. I swore my allegiance to the Queen. I went where I needed too, I served with love for my brothers and only they knew what is was like. This series shows that as does everyone involved. Respect to all.

[lewshuman]

Was there in person and they were so personable and approachable.

[dangernuzzles]

WOW. Just wow. This is the reason why BoB was such a convincing series. I watched it when I was teenager and inspired to dive into ww2 history as a hobby. I'm so happy these are on the internet. We need more views.

[lvsarmy]

Mike Cudlitz doing impressions is hilarious!

[buddystewart]

Most excellent, and with that, I'm going to put on Band of Brothers, and watch it, yet again. The best WWII series ever made...ever.

[stevenwiederholt]

Basic: Aug 26 1967 Lackland AB. "OH MY GOD! What Have I Done!" I have yet to meet a Vet who did not say something close to that on the 1st night in Basic.

[sharonwhiteley]

Thank you for respecting the veteran portrayed and the military.

CPT Dye selected his training cadre wisely. He respects each one and trusts them.

I am glad the actors have somewhat of the same care/respect for each other that the original Band of Brothers veterans had for each other. May this wise friendship continue.

May GOD bless our veterans and their families.

[sarinameyer]

I just really love how they're talking about Shane and Shane "being" Doc from 49:42 on!

[chrismorgan]

This series will probably be the best acting job these guys will ever do.

[dspf]

love how the actors owned their roles and worked their asses off to do justice to the project

[pauldear]

I've really enjoyed watching this and you can see that the actors are their very own band of brothers and have such a real bond with each other.

Harmony Church at FT Benning in those old WWII boot camp buildings we're hot but I remember every damn day how much fun it was for US
