RIP Easy Company. Stand Down you heroes. Your memory lives on.

Shifty grew up and lived near some of my family. I had the honor of meeting him and was able to get his autograph. He was as nice and humble as you can imagine. I hope and pray that he and all of his comrades are able to rest in peace now. They deserve that.

SO sad that these fine men are all gone.

[ivand]

What these men endured and the sacrifices that they made must always be remembered and respected.

[chrispierdominici]

I never get tired of hearing these brave men retelling of their stories and I'm glad that we have a record of their personal accounts now that they've passed on, seeing how priceless that record is.

Mr. Powers was born in a town close to me and died in a town close to me. Didn’t learn that until tonight. Gave me chills.

Two American heroes who fought against evil in WW2! RIP to these fine soldiers of the US Army!

[thesarge]

GOD Bless these guys and all of the Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, men and women and civilians, for their Service of WWII. THE SARGE

my grandma worked in a slave munitions camp before going to Auschwitz. She said many people would damage the fuse, or something to sabotage nazi artillery. The prisoners got so good at making them the germans had no clue any sabotage was completed until the round did nothing. Same with bullets. That's why by the end of the war so many german weapons were misfiring, or shells not going off. Not just that, but by the end of the war 44-45 many of the resources the germans needed were long gone and taken back by the allies.

'If he'd a been close to the ground I wouldn't of seen his breath, cause of the snow.' Wow.

[imtryinghere]

Just shows how smart Shifty is and how good his eyesight was to tell the difference between breath up off the ground in the cold air vs. being down on the ground. That's the 2nd or 3rd story I've heard about him that is demonstrates how clever and how sharp his sniping was.

The 80s & 90s were good times for me. Chased after vets who had retired from a busy life and were thinking about where they been. They were happy to chat with anyone who would listen. I did. Best of all, in following them up through archives that became easily available I realized I had been in good company because none of them lied. God bless them all, the olong, the short and the tall .

0:48 Ambrose wrote about this in Citizen Soliders - that allied veterans, to a man, remembered numerous duds, but that no Germans that he interviewed remembered duds falling on them. No statistical reports ever completed on the topic, but the speculation is that there was a considerable amount of sabotage committed by the enslaved labor force, obviously despite the threat to their own lives. The nature of human resistance in the face of evil never fails to astonish.

[Thinkythinkerton]

Just the courage to go back THERE in WINTER alone is staggering.
RIP and thank you.

[randolphstead]

I was a volunteer driver for the Canadian Red Cross for five years while recovering from an injury. What a privelege it was to transport a veteran. I had WW2 and Korean War veterans as my passengers; a pleasure to serve them.

[thelastjohnwayne]

This Video was amazing and the light snow on the ground and the Cold and the Veterans wearing their gear was so great.

[scottssss]

God bless these guys for their courage and their ability to endure things that are almost impossible to endure.

[MarMarKhai]

This was such a great video but its sad that all of these men are not here anymore
