We just lost the last surviving officer of Easy Company weeks ago. May these men never be forgotten for who they were and what they gave.

Thank you Forrest for this entertaining video this morning. My father flew the B19 bombers in WWII & only wish he was alive today to appreciate your wonderful videos. These brave few men involved in this 3 hour gunfight saved countless lives, thank you for clearly explaining what happened.

You've outdone yourself again Forrest. I love the videos you post and this one really hits home for me, having a grandfather who served in the mighty 8th during this time. Thank you again!

That’s crazy how close the cannons were to the village the allies were resting in. Really cool video.

Im living in Lorraine, France (Northeast). We have a lot of bunkers / Forts from WWII around here, if you want to make a video about something in the area, let me know. I would be glad to help you with some footage. Maybe the foxhole from Bastogne ? Its about 2H drive from my house.

Took my 3 sons to the university bookstore in Seattle many years ago and got an autograph and photo with Lynn Compton, helluva nice guy. He was lead prosecutor in the trial of Sirhan Sirhan for the killing of RFK. Thanks for the video, happy new year.
