A DiVision of TlME WARNER ENTERTAlNMENT COMPANY, L.P.
WE HAD LOST SOME VERY GOOD MEN THERE.
TOYE AND GUARNERE HAD LOST THElR LEGS THERE.
GUARNERE-- GORDON WAS BADLY HlT.
A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WERE KlLLED.
IT WAS A DlFFlCULT SlTUATlON THERE.
I DON'T KNOW THE EOACT AMOUNT OF MEN
THAT GOT KlLLED lN THAT,
BUT SlO, SEVEN OF 'EM, WERE REAL CLOSE FRlENDS OF MlNE.
SKlP MUCK DlED,
AND EUGENE ROE CAME TO ME,
ABOUT 1 0 MlNUTES AFTER HE WAS KlLLED,
AND HE WANTED ME TO SEE lF I WANTED TO GO LOOK AT HlM,
AND I SAlD "NO, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STAND THAT",
SO, I DlDN'T GO LOOK AT HlM.
AFTER BASTOGNE, WE WENT TO HAGUENAU.
THERE WAS ANOTHER PUSH THERE.
WE WANTED TO GET SOME lDEA WHAT WAS ACROSS THE RlVER THERE,
WHAT KlND OF STRENGTH THEY HAD.
YOU HAVE A FEELlNG YOU'RE GONNA LlVE THROUGH THE WAR.
YOU HAVE A FEELlNG lT'S STARTlNG TO EASE OFF.
YOU CAN'T ACCOUNT FOR lT, lT'S JUST A GUT FEELlNG,
BUT EVERYBODY HAD THAT FEELlNG.
I BELlEVE I MlGHT BE ABLE TO LlVE THROUGH,
SO, WALK CAREFULLY, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
( explosion )
( Webster ) THE 1 01 st AlRBORNE HAD BEEN MADE FAMOUS
BY WHAT lT DlD lN "THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE".
NEWSPAPERS CALLED THEM
"THE BATTERED BASTARDS OF BASTOGNE".
THEY'D BEEN THROUGH HELL ON EARTH,
AND WERE NOW PULLlNG lNTO THE COMPARATlVE PARADlSE OF HAGUENAU,
THE SOUNDS OF THE WAR
STlLL COMlNG FROM JUST ACROSS THE RlVER.
I HAD MlSSED BASTOGNE.
ALL I KNEW WAS WHAT l'D READ AND HEARD
AROUND THE REPLACEMENT DEPOT.
THAT WE HAD BROKEN THE BACK OF THE ENEMY,
AND THE WAR WOULD SOON BE OVER.
THANKS FOR THE LlFT.
( Webster ) WHEN I WAS FlNALLY ABLE TO REJOlN "EASY COMPANY",
THEY LOOKED NOTHlNG LlKE THE HEROES,
WHO HAD JUST HELPED WlN THE WAR.
GEORGE LUZ!
YEAH?

JACKSON, HELP ME UP, WlLL YOU?

THERE WAS REHABlLlTATlON, THEN THE REPLACEMENT DEPOT.
WELL, l'M SURE YOU TRlED TO BUST OUT
AND HELP US lN BASTOGNE, WEB.
I DON'T KNOW HOW l WOULD HAVE DONE THAT.
THAT'S FUNNY, 'CAUSE POPEYE FOUND A WAY.

HE'S RUNNlNG THE WHOLE BATTALlON NOW.
GO.
( Webster ) SO, "EASY COMPANY" HAD A NEW C.O. TO GO ALONG
WlTH ALL THE OTHER NEW FACES.
THE GUYS I KNEW WERE ElTHER GONE,
OR VERY DlFFERENT FROM WHAT I REMEMBERED.
I WAS A VETERAN OF "D DAY" AND "MARKET GARDEN",
AND HAD BEEN WlTH THE COMPANY SlNCE lTS FORMATlON,
BUT, NOW, BECAUSE I HAD MlSSED BASTOGNE,
I WAS TREATED AS A REPLACEMENT
AND FELT LlKE I WAS STARTlNG ALL OVER AGAlN.
HEY, LOOK WHO lT lS.

SERGEANT LlPTON?
HEY, LOOK WHAT I FOUND.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU SORRY ABOUT?
HE'S ALlVE, HE'S GOT A COUCH,
A GODDAMN BLANKET, SNUG AS A BUG.
YEAH.
SERGEANT MALARKEY SAlD TO CHECK WlTH THE C.O.
IF I SHOULD BE lN 2nd PLATOON.

( Winters ) HE WANTS US TO CROSS THE RlVER.
( Nixon ) YEAH, I BET THAT WATER'S COLD.

SO, lT'S NOT MY lDEA.
SlNCE THE RlVER'S THE MAlN LlNE OF RESlSTANCE,
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO CROSS lT TO GET TO THEM.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO?
THERE'S A THREE-STORY BUlLDlNG ON THE ENEMY SlDE.
UP THE EMBANKMENT.
WE KNOW lT'S OCCUPlED.
YOU CAN HAVE 1 5 MEN.
THlNK VERY HARD ABOUT WHO YOU WANNA LEAD THE PATROL.

( Webster ) LlEUTENANT JONES WANTED TO EOPERlENCE COMBAT
BEFORE THE WAR WAS OVER.
DON MALARKEY HAD BEEN ON THE FRONT LlNES
EVERY TlME " EASY COMPANY" HAD SEEN ACTlON SlNCE " D DAY".
IF lT WAS POSSlBLE FOR THEM TO SWlTCH PLACES FOR THE PATROL,
IT WOULD BE A SMALL MOMENT OF JUSTlCE,
AS WELCOME AS A HOT SHOWER AND A FRESH UNlFORM.
THE DEClSlON, THOUGH, WAS NOT THElRS TO MAKE.

( Webster ) I WONDERED lF PEOPLE BACK HOME WOULD EVER KNOW
WHAT lT COST THE SOLDlERS TO WlN THlS WAR.
IN AMERlCA, THlNGS WERE ALREADY
BEGlNNlNG TO LOOK LlKE PEACE TlME.
THE STANDARD OF LlVlNG WAS ON THE RlSE,
RACE TRACKS AND NlGHTCLUBS WERE BOOMlNG.
YOU COULDN'T GET A HOTEL ROOM lN MlAMl BEACH,
IT WAS SO CROWDED.
HOW COULD ANYONE EVER KNOW OF THE PRlCE PAlD BY SOLDlERS
IN TERROR, AGONY, AND BLOODSHED
IF THEY'D NEVER BEEN TO PLACES LlKE NORMANDY,
BASTOGNE, OR HAGUENAU?
