Apologies for the sound quality. Thought I'd post an incredibly emotional moment from the finale livestream. A longer ep edit will be up once it's done - unfortunately the sound isn't great but I'll do the best I can! Thanks for being with me for this ride, people. It's been wonderful to experience this utterly stunning show for the first time.
This time I did catch the live stream. Like I said then everyone knew you weren't going to be able to watch just the 1st episode. You said you were going to watch "The Pacific" in the future, here is some NON spoiler advice, lower your expectations. BoB is so good everything else will fall short by comparison. If you take my advice then "The Pacific" will be a good ride too. See ya 'round
Thanks for coming! I will certainly be watching The Pacific. Don't worry - I've heard quite a bit of non-spoilery negativity about the show so either it'll meet or exceed my expectations. If anything, I'm interested purely to see more about the Pacific theatre of the war cause I know almost nothing!
Juliette Reacts it was hard for me to watch the entire series because after they all went throw hell and survived until the end of the war in 1945 your always relive the moment like your back fighting the enemy again in your sleep I highly recommend you watch The Pacific it was also a great series the war against the empire of Japan
Respectfully disagree. I would say alter your expectations. Too many people went into The Pacific expecting Band of Brothers 2, which it most certainly is not. The Pacific is as good, if not better than Band of Brothers in certain aspects. I emphasize CERTAIN aspects. I for one actually enjoyed The Pacific far more with a second viewing without any pre-conceived notions and it was a far more powerful experience. However, it is a much more disjointed series due to the island hopping campaign, and also the fact that no single unit took place in all the historically "popular" battles much like Easy company had the (mis)fortune of from a storytelling perspective.
I could remember watching this scene when it aired. It was only a couple of months after the 9/11 attacks and I was an NYPD "homicide" detective. All NYers nerves were still very raw. I was watching this with my beautiful wife & was biting my lip so I didn't cry in front of her. But dammit I couldn't keep it in and I got very emotional hearing those incredible men talk. Thanks for posting Juliette. It was actually a great memory.
JR When 9/11 happened I’d already completed several tours in Northern Ireland and had been in the Kosovo War following which I’d undertake a program of treatment for PTSD. On 9/11 itself I was running the ranges taking a group of recruits through weapons training and live firing. Having seen the news, I got them together, let them know what had happened and told them the world would never be the same again. Part of the counselling I got included watching a two part British made drama called ‘Warriors’, which coincidentally also stars Damian Lewis as a British Army Officer. Like you, this program had me in tears, for all the right reasons. Like you, I was a detective, a senior detective in the Army. Emotions are healthy and crying is normal. I still do on the occasions I remember colleagues and brothers (in arms) no longer with us. Respect to you for the job you did. Never feel ashamed for having feelings.
Winters and my grandfather grew up about a 10 min. drive from each other...He volunteered for the Navy and fought in the South Pacific when he was just a teenager. I just lost him last year...age 91. Winters is a hometown hero...but so is my granddad...I'll never stop missing him and never forget what he taught me about being an upright, honest, descent man
hello i like your comment very much i am just wondering what happen to all Richard Winters documents after his sad passing on all the conflict, records etc in ww2
It's sad to think about... The Boomers, and especially Generation X, Y, and Z have almost completely disgraced the sacrifice of these men. God bless your grandfather and those like him.
@@Boringunguy I am from India and I guess I have watched BOB almost 200 times , and Maj winter's is just the man that this world needs , I will always regret that I never met him or his company of men .. but someday ill visit everyone of you .... Working my butt of to have enough cash to travel .... Being a seaman it's hard to be in touch with wats going on ... If you you be kind enough can you mail me in bernickfernandes123@gmail.com
My uncle was in the 101st, made it as far as Bastogne, took 3 rounds from an MG42 in the chest, laid in the snow 2 days before they found him. The cold weather saved him, he passed away in 1985. My father flew P-51 Mustangs in the 357th in England got shot down twice, made it back to his bunk before dark both times. He passed away in 1997. My other uncle flew F4U Corsairs in the Pacific he was lost at sea after a ground support Mission on Iwo Jima in 1945, MIA to this day. I stumbled on to your work today, THANK YOU!! ;)
Juliette, I am a member of the University of Texas Longhorn Alumni Band, and we have been chosen as the main ceremonial band for the 75th anniversary of the Normandy invasion. We will be playing the national anthem of all the countries involved in the Normandy invasion. It is a great honor to be part of this anniversary. One of our members is 92 year old Mel Kusin who plays the baritone. He was part of Patton's Third Army and fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
My reaction too. And I am the 68 year old son of a WWII vet. He always said the greatest day of his life was when he heard the war was over. Very powerful ending. A great series.
Juliette, I cried with you. I do every time I watch this series. My grandfathers fought in the Pacific during WWII, so they weren't part of D-Day, but following these heroes in Band of Brothers helps me understand the pain and sacrifices that they went through to help win the war.
Boys of today, these men were once boys, but didn't have it near as easy. Listen too them, they know what it took to grow up quickly..salute all veterans
Well done, Juliette. Just seeing you react like that to these men's stories was wonderful. The story and production was great, but it really did happen! And you, Juliette have a kind heart.
I'm so glad you shared this. My uncle is a Vietnam veteran. I can only imagine the hardships he had to endure. Thank you again for sharing, take care and be safe!
Grandfather landed on the Normandy beaches, he served in Europe throughout the war. I was born into an Army family, my Dad served almost 40 years. I did 9 years myself. The telling of Easy company's story is epic, accurate, and like many others have no doubt commented, the interviews of the guys completely finished me off the first time I watched this, and every time since. Might not be evident to all, but there are things you don't talk about, not to anyone, even those that were there with you. You learn to talk over and around certain events or details, no good can come from talking about everything you saw or did, and it's there in their voices and how they say what they do. There's also the wisdom and perspective of having relived those moments over and over again, thousands of times, trying to make sense of it all, in the years since. One of the most profound quotes I've come across is this: 'It's not that I can and others can't, its that I did and others didn't.'
Dear Juliette! It feels so good to see what I feel when watching this scene. Respect, regardless of whether our flags are in different colors, but we are still honoring the heroes as a man. Thank you for sharing this ☺
My family and I have a Memorial Day tradition where we watch this series every year. It is sad because this year, all the men of Easy Company are dead. Malarky passed away this past September. As Winters said, he did not consider himself a hero, but served with a company of heroes.
We lost our local Easy Co hero, about 10 years ago. Bob Rader, was a well loved teacher. In memoriam, the city of Paso Robles Ca, named a bridge in his honor. Babe Hebron and Bill Guarnere, with seven other Easy Company men, came for the dedication.
I believe there are 7 still alive. Although none of them no longer make public appearances, they are now well into their 90’s. This year will also be the last year of the official actors / veterans reunions in France.
Such a beautiful honest reaction. My father was in the war and it is really good to see you, as the next generation up, have an understanding of that time period. You obviously have an honest emotional heart and soul. God Bless.
Juliette, thanks again for sharing this journey with us. My father was a Marine in S Pacific in WWII, my stepfather in the Army fought his way from D-Day to Berchtesgarden; my oldest brother was in the Navy and ran a gunboat on the Mekong River in the '60s. I grew up watching Hollywood's depictions of "The United States at War", but always knew it wasn't right, somehow - because the men in those movies didn't really match what I saw in real life. BoB is brilliant in that way; it strove to show us that the men who fought, who fight, are really just guys, trying to stay alive. It strove to show us that war isn't about pretty stories with neatly-tied-off endings, that random bullshit happened to good people just because they happened to be in the wrong foxhole at the wrong time. It strove to show us that even "that company of heroes" had its dark members, and dark times. The amount of love and respect the filmmakers, the crew, the actors, had for their source material and real-life counterparts is inspiring all by itself. Watching this through your eyes made me realize all over again, how right they got...everything. Good art should make us think, and feel - I think this series certainly qualifies. Thanks again for your thoughts, and your tears, and for letting us come along for the ride.
R Etset You certainly nailed it. Each actor would become friends with the hero he would portray. I remember a story where Donne Walburg called Carlwood Lipton and spoke with him before a scene and Mr. Lipton told him “ we wouldn’t have done this “ and Donnie took that back to the producers and they corrected the script. The actor that portrayed Buck Compton actually became very good friends with Buck and treated him like a 2nd father. Before production started Tom Hanks and Spielberg gathered everyone and spoke to them. Paraphrasing, they told them that this isn’t just a project, this is probably the most important work they would ever do and all of the actors took it to heart. And it shows. I’ve seen David Schwimmer’s many projects but his portray of Captain Sobel was nothing less than brilliant. I hated Sobel and that was because Schwimmer’s portray of him was perfect. It isn’t easy for an actor to create that kind of a response.
Juliette, I mentioned this before but worth repeating. Your truth shows up during your views of one of the best Shows ever created. I wish more people would be willing to share their heart. Your openness speaks volumns and u love it. I understand this show is not for everyone, as too much realism bothers some. If this wasn't true, my wife would have watched it by now. The realistic accounting is a bit too much for some, but thank you, Jules, for posting your true emotions. Loved it! JB
I loved watching Band of Brothers and loved watching it again through your eyes. It’s great seeing someone that can appreciate it, enjoy it, cry with it, and hate to see it end as I did. Thank you!
I discovered this last week, and have watched your entire Band of Brothers Reaction series. It is brilliant. Band of Brothers is my favourite tv show of all time, and as a teacher I use clips from both this episode and Day of Days as they are so brilliantly shot, and the tone and feelings are wonderful teaching tools. I have loved watching you react to it, for you bring out the emotion of the episodes, and I feel as if I was re-watching them again for the first time. I always tear up in the final scene of this episodes, and I knew I will tear up doubly so in watching it with you. The goodbyes and the after the war stuff. Then finding out whom is whom of the vets. Wow. Thank you very much for this. Its been an honour. I truly enjoyed this journey with you, and look forward to travelling 'The Pacific' with you as well.
Shifty Powers had it right, when you're in the middle of everything like these men were, they felt nothing was beyond their reach. They could accomplish anything they were asked (or ordered) to do. Thank you for your reaction. I was tearing up with you.
My great grandfather was in a tank regiment in ww2 . Was in the battle of the bulge. When I was younger I asked if he ever met the guys on the TV show band of brothers. He had a long pause and said " how could I forget " . That's all he had to say .
My reaction exactly. Life is precious. and this series so perfectly embodies all of it ----its most treacherous events that humanity endures, but also, and more importantly, the most meaningful: Friendship, respect, sacrifice, a sense of duty for a greater good, perspective, enlightenment, the longing to love one another and learn from these events in history so we don't repeat these things. This series should be shown in every high-school history class. We owe so much to that fine generation.
You’re reactions mirror mine. No matter how many times I watch BOB it makes me weep especially for those young men who never made it through to see the results of their ultimate sacrifice. 😔
An ending that can bring a grown man to tears. Band of Brothers was such a brilliant show, and an emotional roller coaster at times. I doubt much will be able to beat it
I never cried watching this (God knows how many times I’ve watched it) but watching your reactions to things I’d never even thought about brought a few tears to the eyes. As a former British Soldier I can remember seeing this in 2001 when I was going through basic training, and the whole thing brought the realism of war home. Since 2015 I have been doing research into BOB/Easy company and some of the stories they couldn’t tell, missed out or mistold are very interesting. Books by Dick Winters & Donald Malarky about their experience give a much more in-depth view of what happened. The series only used 25 main characters, where as in real life 120ish people were in Easy company at anyone time, they had to condense the stories down.
I watched that series when it came out in 2000. I bought the box set when it came available. I've probably seen this scene a dozen times or more since 2000 and I got choked up each and every time, including this time now. I think that the only way that could be improved on this show is if they could figure out a way to add the smell of rotting bodies, the smell of gun powder, body oder because it has been a month since your last bath and the decibels that a actual artillery shell creates when it explodes as well as the concussion that would blow you 20 feet. Best damn chronicle of a combat team ever! I appreciate the fact that this had a impact on you. Thank you ! That means more to me than all of the "Thank you for your service." remarks that I hear. Again, thank you. USMC 1969-1972.
This series makes me cry, I loved your reaction. You show so many emotions to these great men. If this movie series interests you go on a tour. I did and followed these great Americans. While in Paris I saw a Statue in honor of Dick Winters, it made me cry..The cemeteries I found were amazing. So many men didn't leave foreign land never returned home to their families.
I came across your BoB reaction videos and I ended up watching all ten. It’s my favorite WW2 series and I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to share your reactions. It was great.
I am a man's man.. I like cars, guns and willing women and this scene has made me cry every fuckin time I see it. One of the truly few cinematic masterpieces ever made
I have watched the series many many times and the ending has me stunned each and every time and leaves me on the brink of tears to see and hear such humble and compassionate heroes. Seeing your reaction and tears sent me over the edge, but it was cleansing so "Thank You" :)
Thank you, Juliette, for doing these reactions! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your emotions. Thank you for letting us ride along and maybe give validation to the emotions that were/are/will be evoked in myself. My biological father was a prisoner of war for 4 years finally succumbing to the hard times in 1958. My step father was wounded in Bastogne and taken prisoner until the end, passing in 1997. And my own journey through military times. Thank you for staying with us, inviting us in and making our own band of brothers and sisters.
The part that really hot me was when I believe it was John Martin was laughing and pointed at the faded Airborne Tattoo he had on his Forearm. He said that him and a Buddy Got them after Normandy when they went back to Scotland. Then he stared at it and starting getting emotional, and said " Hell we lost over half our men in Normandy in a few weeks. We figured there was no way we would live through the war with those odds"
It is appropriate to be brought to tears, for these are American Men who, as President Lincoln once said, have hallowed this American Soil far beyond our power to "add or detract". We must remember them, and never forget what they gave to us, and we also must make sacrifices, and give to this nation, what it has given to us.
Still on of the best and most epic/grand pieces of TV ever in my opinion. Just 10 episodes and it feels like a massive journey, each episode does such a good job of telling it's own story whilst progressing it overall. Plus the amount of actors in it, now mega famous is crazy.
The "old gentlemen", are the actual men, and their lives during WWII, the movie portrayed. BoB is a documentary presented as an action movie. Nearly every moment shown, is a repeat of actual events these men saw and experienced.
Yeah, when I saw this I knew it was based on the events, and extremely accurate to them, but watching the veterans in each of the episodes I figured they were just soldiers who were part of the 101st. When it got to the ending here, and I saw they were some of the actual people being portrayed in the series, it really hit home.
I’ve just finished watching BoB again, and that ending gets me every damn time. The baseball scene is when I start, then by the time the real soldiers are talking, especially that last sentence, I’m a bawling wreck.😭😭😭😭
I’ve been watching your “Band of Brothers” reactions this evening after coming across your first reaction and I absolutely love your emotional connection to the characters and their stories. It is among my all-time favorite shows and it’s always wonderful to witness newcomers to the show, even after all these years. I love your videos.
I've had the pleasure of knowing many of the actors and family members of the real men and lucky enough to count them very much as friends. They would be honoured that even so far on from the original filming that people are still learning about these men and getting as emotionally connected as you do.
I've seen this tv show more times than I can remember, what a masterpiece. Yes this TV show makes you cry, there was a few parts that were emotional to watch and one of the ones for me was when Richard Winters received his Oak Leaves from Nixon, as Winters opens the box, he's so humble and he is a real hero.
I hope you learned that freedom comes with a heavy cost...my grandfather served on the USS INDIANAPOLIS, had it not been for a single photograph of him in uniform I'd have never known. I had other uncles and cousins who served in Korea and Vietnam. Myself I served 23 years in US Marines, from Beirut, Panama, Desert Storm, Somalia and Afghanistan, retiring in 2005 after being wounded. Like them, not a day goes by that I don't think about the men I served with and pray for them and their families. There are really no winners and no losers in war, only survivors...and every survivor is a casualty, sometimes you just can't see all of the scars...
The series BOB was a very educational one but let us not forget this series was about Easy Company. There were hundreds if not a few thousand other companies from all branches of the military that fought in that terrible war as well and they all deserve to be recognized. What a horrible shame that we are loosing thousands of WWII and Korean War Vets daily and before long there will be none so whenever we see a Vet lets show and tell them how much their sacrifices are appreciated. GOD BLESS ALL VETS.
What kills me, and it is not fair, is to think of all the men who died like lieutenant Meehan and his stick, killed before even reaching their intended landing zone. They had no chance to be remembered for any exploits on the battlefield, like their rest. 😠😪
Oh god, I was crying watching you crying. The part with Winters quoting Mike Rainey always gets me too. On the Airborne Dday monument in Normandy that depicts Winters likeness (which Ive seen in person) , there is a quote under which has always inspired me and I think sums up who Winters was as a man. "Wars do not make men great, but they do bring out greatness is good men". It made me weep when I read it. I brought my trombone with me and played the band of brothers theme by the memorial later that day after everyone had mostly cleared out. Men like this come around very seldom in history, let alone during the 20th century.
I just discovered your reaction videos and let me tell you, that final sequnce in the series the THE most powerful and emotional thing that to this day I still cannot watch this without tearing up. The heart and soul put into the production of this series does so much justice and honor to those men that I have yet to see another series or movie match it.
It's a warm feeling knowing and seeing a young lady show such emotion towards and interest in people who fought for our country. May you fully enjoy the freedoms these men and women fought and died for, for all of us. Bless you dear..
That being said. you looked beautiful when you cried, a sense of genuine care for these hero's of old. was on fun display, for that you've earned my sub. and like
HI Juliette, I watched BoB years ago when it came out, I frequently watch episodes still from it. I recently commented to you about how my father and mother served in WW2 in the navy. Watching you go through this makes me proud of you that you took the time to see and experience what they went through. I recommend you watch Hacksaw Ridge, the true and very accurate movie of Desmond Doss who won the medal of honor for his life saving as a medic in the pacific war against the Japanese. He wouldn't carry a gun, but he went in to save lives and many men were saved because of his incredible actions and faith in God to protect him. I wish you the very best in life. - Dan
Juliette, your emotions say it all: Thanks, appreciation, gratefulness, tenderness, compassion, understanding and love. These were great men. God bless our Vets.
I always start tearing up when he says Perconte went on to become a mailman.. It's such an iconic peaceful nice-guy job for such an iconic gritty tough-guy soldier..
funkEfresh Frank Perconte wasn’t even due to be a big part in the series. James Madio (The Actor who played him) impressed Tom Hanks so much that they gave him more focus.
Your smile says everything when it was revealed that that old man was Winters. You could tell on that weathered aged face that he kept his promise, to spend the rest of his life in peace.
Just found this channel today and watched several of the B of B videos. In many ways a unique, strange experience - revisiting these often brutal episodes through the eyes of such a tender-hearted young woman. Somehow, both a sad and lovely thing.
Juliette, you are truly a Lovely person. There many people from that time (Like easy Company) that can say they made a difference, and have backed up by documents and memories. Off the top of my head, Look up Sir Peter Gretton and his training of the Fortilla that Escorted ONS 5. The battle that changed to course of the Battle for the atlantic. There is a Book out Called "Black May" a very insightful look into that time and the People who were there.
I really enjoyed your reaction videos. You are very genuine and I like that you as a younger person was taking such an interest in the war and asking all the right questions. Very well done.
My favorite was when you see the the interviewed veterans named revealed. Really shows you that these guys did get to enjoy what was left of their lives. Lives free of war and horror, finally peace and prosperity. I know not many are still with us in 2019, but these men will always remain in my heart for the laughs, tears of both joy and sorrow that their incredible story has brought me. This series will always remain as the greatest media representation of the Second World War and their story shall forever live on as we journeyed with them through their war.
Been a few years since ive seen the series but youtube brought me here. I still started shedding tears watching her shed tears and it isnt fresh in my head. Major winters always gets me with that quote.
Great series. I worked with men like this on the Post Office in the early 80's who had been at war. One I knew who had fought with the British Paratroopers at Arnhem I was on a split shift with and when a Bridge Too Far was on at the cinema nearby, I asked him if he wanted to go see it with me, to which he replied, "no thanks lad, I saw it live".
Thank you for sharing this. It brings me no small amount of joy knowing that there are people in my generation who still cherish the memory of these brave men.
Their story will live on in history, in memories, and the stories that was passed down. As of late last year there is now less than 10 of the original 101st airborne Easy Company soldiers still alive today. Not only that just any WWII veteran. The ones that are still alive are in their 80s-90s. That is why very time I see a veteran mainly the older veterans I thank them for their service. War is never a good thing but I am deeply grateful for the men and women who fight for our freedom. To any army soldiers and veterans that sees my comment I am deeply thankful for your service and I salute you.
I am so gland that a Young person like yourself ( a "Yout" Lol) can appreciate the "Courage & Valour" it took for these boys from across America that became Men, and helped win WWll. They were the Greatest Generation and we will sadly Never see a unity in America like that again !!! Just look at today ! My Father served in the Patton's 3rd Army, Infantry he made it and lived to 2003' and died at 79'. My war in the Gulf in Iraq that year, as a Marine and our forces took Baghdad and we one at that point (please no trolls on that !) I got to call him weeks later and he watched it all on TV, and he was relieved I was safe !! : ) We still had lots to do in Iraq and I would get back to the States for another 3+ months... My Dad died two weeks after we talked on the phone, but he was happy for me/us etc, I never got to see him again but he saw our Victory at that time. : ) Big Hugs out to you Juliette !! our a Sweetheart and thank you for your emotions !!! I which more of our youth were like you !! Sgt, Semper Fi ua-cam.com/video/5-SdQilQvEI/v-deo.html
Excellent series! I had my wife watch BoB with me and believe me your emotions during this journey echoes hers exactly. I watch it continuously but 1 go around for her...she can't take the sadness. I try to look through the horror of it all and see the selfless acts and heroism of a group of men literally banding together. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
I watched this series with my 2 sons. My father was a paratrooper, and I was an Airborne qualified Marine. My oldest became a Marine. I wanted them to know what freedom costs. I am glad that you watched the series, and I am happy that it moved you. Watch Generation Kill, lose 40 lbs, and join the Marine Corps. In the 1960s and 1970s, vets, Marines, and soldiers were despised and spit on.. I still feel awkward when someone says, "Thank you for your service ". The Korean and VietNam veterans never received that! If you really are moved, walk through a VA hospital. Work with Wounded Warriors. Talk to those vets. Learn their stories.
Every time I watch this with my family- I almost always get teary-eyed whenever we saw the concentration camps, and the part that would fill me with the most nostalgia is the speech the german general gave to his troops, and then the part where he said, " No.. but I served in a company of heroes." I love this documentary!! we few, we happy few- we band of brothers!!
Apologies for the sound quality. Thought I'd post an incredibly emotional moment from the finale livestream. A longer ep edit will be up once it's done - unfortunately the sound isn't great but I'll do the best I can!
Thanks for being with me for this ride, people. It's been wonderful to experience this utterly stunning show for the first time.
This time I did catch the live stream. Like I said then everyone knew you weren't going to be able to watch just the 1st episode. You said you were going to watch "The Pacific" in the future, here is some NON spoiler advice, lower your expectations. BoB is so good everything else will fall short by comparison. If you take my advice then "The Pacific" will be a good ride too. See ya 'round
Thanks for coming! I will certainly be watching The Pacific. Don't worry - I've heard quite a bit of non-spoilery negativity about the show so either it'll meet or exceed my expectations. If anything, I'm interested purely to see more about the Pacific theatre of the war cause I know almost nothing!
You have done those men portrayed in the series a great honor young woman. People who have may not have seen the series now know of them through you.
Juliette Reacts it was hard for me to watch the entire series because after they all went throw hell and survived until the end of the war in 1945 your always relive the moment like your back fighting the enemy again in your sleep I highly recommend you watch The Pacific it was also a great series the war against the empire of Japan
Respectfully disagree. I would say alter your expectations. Too many people went into The Pacific expecting Band of Brothers 2, which it most certainly is not. The Pacific is as good, if not better than Band of Brothers in certain aspects. I emphasize CERTAIN aspects. I for one actually enjoyed The Pacific far more with a second viewing without any pre-conceived notions and it was a far more powerful experience. However, it is a much more disjointed series due to the island hopping campaign, and also the fact that no single unit took place in all the historically "popular" battles much like Easy company had the (mis)fortune of from a storytelling perspective.
"grandpa said no...but I served in a company of heroes." That part gets me EVERYTIME.
SAME. I've seen the series like a thousand times and I still tear up on that part. So beautiful
Every time.
I thought I was the only one
Ditto, and I don’t cry easily.
For me it’s the look he gives you right after he says “grandpa were you ever in a war?”
I could remember watching this scene when it aired. It was only a couple of months after the 9/11 attacks and I was an NYPD "homicide" detective. All NYers nerves were still very raw. I was watching this with my beautiful wife & was biting my lip so I didn't cry in front of her. But dammit I couldn't keep it in and I got very emotional hearing those incredible men talk. Thanks for posting Juliette. It was actually a great memory.
JR When 9/11 happened I’d already completed several tours in Northern Ireland and had been in the Kosovo War following which I’d undertake a program of treatment for PTSD. On 9/11 itself I was running the ranges taking a group of recruits through weapons training and live firing. Having seen the news, I got them together, let them know what had happened and told them the world would never be the same again.
Part of the counselling I got included watching a two part British made drama called ‘Warriors’, which coincidentally also stars Damian Lewis as a British Army Officer.
Like you, this program had me in tears, for all the right reasons. Like you, I was a detective, a senior detective in the Army. Emotions are healthy and crying is normal. I still do on the occasions I remember colleagues and brothers (in arms) no longer with us.
Respect to you for the job you did. Never feel ashamed for having feelings.
Winters and my grandfather grew up about a 10 min. drive from each other...He volunteered for the Navy and fought in the South Pacific when he was just a teenager. I just lost him last year...age 91. Winters is a hometown hero...but so is my granddad...I'll never stop missing him and never forget what he taught me about being an upright, honest, descent man
What's his name? I live in Hershey, dick winters was my grandfathers cousin.
hello i like your comment very much i am just wondering what happen to all Richard Winters documents after his sad passing on all the conflict, records etc in ww2
It's sad to think about... The Boomers, and especially Generation X, Y, and Z have almost completely disgraced the sacrifice of these men.
God bless your grandfather and those like him.

My uncle was in the 101st, made it as far as Bastogne, took 3 rounds from an MG42 in the chest, laid in the snow 2 days before they found him. The cold weather saved him, he passed away in 1985. My father flew P-51 Mustangs in the 357th in England got shot down twice, made it back to his bunk before dark both times. He passed away in 1997. My other uncle flew F4U Corsairs in the Pacific he was lost at sea after a ground support Mission on Iwo Jima in 1945, MIA to this day. I stumbled on to your work today, THANK YOU!! ;)
Jup, I cried along with you, I lost count of how many times I've seen this series, these final 6 minutes are the most emotional every time.
I’m crying watching her reaction of this remarkable story.
Same
I cry every damn time.
Yes,you are right......I'm going through the same emotions.....& damn it!! I am crying,quietly to myself.
Juliette, I am a member of the University of Texas Longhorn Alumni Band, and we have been chosen as the main ceremonial band for the 75th anniversary of the Normandy invasion. We will be playing the national anthem of all the countries involved in the Normandy invasion. It is a great honor to be part of this anniversary. One of our members is 92 year old Mel Kusin who plays the baritone. He was part of Patton's Third Army and fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
My reaction too. And I am the 68 year old son of a WWII vet. He always said the greatest day of his life was when he heard the war was over. Very powerful ending. A great series.
“We are band of brothers, we stand alone together!” The history shall never be forgotten by new generations.
I knew the ending would get you. Thank you so much for allowing me to relive these episodes through your eyes
Thank you for your tears. They were the best generation. And we need to not ever forget what they gave for all of us. Brillant.
Juliette, I cried with you. I do every time I watch this series. My grandfathers fought in the Pacific during WWII, so they weren't part of D-Day, but following these heroes in Band of Brothers helps me understand the pain and sacrifices that they went through to help win the war.
Boys of today, these men were once boys, but didn't have it near as easy. Listen too them, they know what it took to grow up quickly..salute all veterans
BoB is still the best mini series I've ever seen. I watch it once a year. It's amazing every time.
Well done, Juliette. Just seeing you react like that to these men's stories was wonderful. The story and production was great, but it really did happen! And you, Juliette have a kind heart.
Thankyou ❤️
I'm so glad you shared this. My uncle is a Vietnam veteran. I can only imagine the hardships he had to endure. Thank you again for sharing, take care and be safe!
Grandfather landed on the Normandy beaches, he served in Europe throughout the war. I was born into an Army family, my Dad served almost 40 years. I did 9 years myself. The telling of Easy company's story is epic, accurate, and like many others have no doubt commented, the interviews of the guys completely finished me off the first time I watched this, and every time since. Might not be evident to all, but there are things you don't talk about, not to anyone, even those that were there with you. You learn to talk over and around certain events or details, no good can come from talking about everything you saw or did, and it's there in their voices and how they say what they do. There's also the wisdom and perspective of having relived those moments over and over again, thousands of times, trying to make sense of it all, in the years since. One of the most profound quotes I've come across is this: 'It's not that I can and others can't, its that I did and others didn't.'
Dear Juliette! It feels so good to see what I feel when watching this scene. Respect, regardless of whether our flags are in different colors, but we are still honoring the heroes as a man. Thank you for sharing this ☺
My family and I have a Memorial Day tradition where we watch this series every year. It is sad because this year, all the men of Easy Company are dead. Malarky passed away this past September. As Winters said, he did not consider himself a hero, but served with a company of heroes.
Joshua Wells Edward Shames is still alive, age 95. I believe he is the last remaining member of Easy Company.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Shames
We lost our local Easy Co hero, about 10 years ago. Bob Rader, was a well loved teacher. In memoriam, the city of Paso Robles Ca, named a bridge in his honor. Babe Hebron and Bill Guarnere, with seven other Easy Company men, came for the dedication.
I believe there are 7 still alive. Although none of them no longer make public appearances, they are now well into their 90’s.
This year will also be the last year of the official actors / veterans reunions in France.
Doc Pepping just passed away within the last couple of months
Heaven mustve needed easy company
Such a beautiful honest reaction. My father was in the war and it is really good to see you, as the next generation up, have an understanding of that time period. You obviously have an honest emotional heart and soul. God Bless.
Juliette, thanks again for sharing this journey with us. My father was a Marine in S Pacific in WWII, my stepfather in the Army fought his way from D-Day to Berchtesgarden; my oldest brother was in the Navy and ran a gunboat on the Mekong River in the '60s. I grew up watching Hollywood's depictions of "The United States at War", but always knew it wasn't right, somehow - because the men in those movies didn't really match what I saw in real life. BoB is brilliant in that way; it strove to show us that the men who fought, who fight, are really just guys, trying to stay alive. It strove to show us that war isn't about pretty stories with neatly-tied-off endings, that random bullshit happened to good people just because they happened to be in the wrong foxhole at the wrong time. It strove to show us that even "that company of heroes" had its dark members, and dark times. The amount of love and respect the filmmakers, the crew, the actors, had for their source material and real-life counterparts is inspiring all by itself.
Watching this through your eyes made me realize all over again, how right they got...everything. Good art should make us think, and feel - I think this series certainly qualifies. Thanks again for your thoughts, and your tears, and for letting us come along for the ride.

You certainly nailed it. Each actor would become friends with the hero he would portray. I remember a story where Donne Walburg called Carlwood Lipton and spoke with him before a scene and Mr. Lipton told him “ we wouldn’t have done this “ and Donnie took that back to the producers and they corrected the script. The actor that portrayed Buck Compton actually became very good friends with Buck and treated him like a 2nd father.
Before production started Tom Hanks and Spielberg gathered everyone and spoke to them. Paraphrasing, they told them that this isn’t just a project, this is probably the most important work they would ever do and all of the actors took it to heart. And it shows. I’ve seen David Schwimmer’s many projects but his portray of Captain Sobel was nothing less than brilliant. I hated Sobel and that was because Schwimmer’s portray of him was perfect. It isn’t easy for an actor to create that kind of a response.
Juliette, I mentioned this before but worth repeating. Your truth shows up during your views of one of the best Shows ever created. I wish more people would be willing to share their heart. Your openness speaks volumns and u love it. I understand this show is not for everyone, as too much realism bothers some. If this wasn't true, my wife would have watched it by now. The realistic accounting is a bit too much for some, but thank you, Jules, for posting your true emotions. Loved it! JB
I loved watching Band of Brothers and loved watching it again through your eyes. It’s great seeing someone that can appreciate it, enjoy it, cry with it, and hate to see it end as I did. Thank you!
I discovered this last week, and have watched your entire Band of Brothers Reaction series. It is brilliant. Band of Brothers is my favourite tv show of all time, and as a teacher I use clips from both this episode and Day of Days as they are so brilliantly shot, and the tone and feelings are wonderful teaching tools.
I have loved watching you react to it, for you bring out the emotion of the episodes, and I feel as if I was re-watching them again for the first time.
I always tear up in the final scene of this episodes, and I knew I will tear up doubly so in watching it with you. The goodbyes and the after the war stuff. Then finding out whom is whom of the vets. Wow.
Thank you very much for this. Its been an honour. I truly enjoyed this journey with you, and look forward to travelling 'The Pacific' with you as well.
Lol I've seen the series many times, but had no idea there was also a "reaction" series 😂
I never stop tearing up watching these scenes, I've got the tissues out now.
The most brilliant war movie ever.
I cry every time I see it. There are real heroes in the world. And they don't wear red capes.
Shifty Powers had it right, when you're in the middle of everything like these men were, they felt nothing was beyond their reach. They could accomplish anything they were asked (or ordered) to do. Thank you for your reaction. I was tearing up with you.
My great grandfather was in a tank regiment in ww2 . Was in the battle of the bulge. When I was younger I asked if he ever met the guys on the TV show band of brothers. He had a long pause and said " how could I forget " . That's all he had to say .
My reaction exactly. Life is precious. and this series so perfectly embodies all of it ----its most treacherous events that humanity endures, but also, and more importantly, the most meaningful: Friendship, respect, sacrifice, a sense of duty for a greater good, perspective, enlightenment, the longing to love one another and learn from these events in history so we don't repeat these things. This series should be shown in every high-school history class. We owe so much to that fine generation.
You’re reactions mirror mine. No matter how many times I watch BOB it makes me weep especially for those young men who never made it through to see the results of their ultimate sacrifice. 😔
An ending that can bring a grown man to tears. Band of Brothers was such a brilliant show, and an emotional roller coaster at times. I doubt much will be able to beat it
I never cried watching this (God knows how many times I’ve watched it) but watching your reactions to things I’d never even thought about brought a few tears to the eyes.
As a former British Soldier I can remember seeing this in 2001 when I was going through basic training, and the whole thing brought the realism of war home.
Since 2015 I have been doing research into BOB/Easy company and some of the stories they couldn’t tell, missed out or mistold are very interesting.
Books by Dick Winters & Donald Malarky about their experience give a much more in-depth view of what happened.
The series only used 25 main characters, where as in real life 120ish people were in Easy company at anyone time, they had to condense the stories down.
I am glad I am not the only one who reacted like that!! I love Band of Brothers!!
I watched that series when it came out in 2000. I bought the box set when it came available. I've probably seen this scene a dozen times or more since 2000 and I got choked up each and every time, including this time now. I think that the only way that could be improved on this show is if they could figure out a way to add the smell of rotting bodies, the smell of gun powder, body oder because it has been a month since your last bath and the decibels that a actual artillery shell creates when it explodes as well as the concussion that would blow you 20 feet.
Best damn chronicle of a combat team ever!
I appreciate the fact that this had a impact on you. Thank you ! That means more to me than all of the "Thank you for your service." remarks that I hear.
Again, thank you. USMC 1969-1972.
Awesome! It’s so nice seeing someone’s genuine reaction to this series and these men’s stories. Very moving. Love this show.
This series makes me cry, I loved your reaction. You show so many emotions to these great men. If this movie series interests you go on a tour. I did and followed these great Americans. While in Paris I saw a Statue in honor of Dick Winters, it made me cry..The cemeteries I found were amazing. So many men didn't leave foreign land never returned home to their families.
I came across your BoB reaction videos and I ended up watching all ten. It’s my favorite WW2 series and I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to share your reactions. It was great.
You’re very welcome. So glad you enjoyed them. ❤️
I am a man's man.. I like cars, guns and willing women and this scene has made me cry every fuckin time I see it. One of the truly few cinematic masterpieces ever made
I've seen it like 15 times I ball everytime😂
Real men don’t hide emotions. I’m just like you, I cry every time I watch it!
I have watched the series many many times and the ending has me stunned each and every time and leaves me on the brink of tears to see and hear such humble and compassionate heroes. Seeing your reaction and tears sent me over the edge, but it was cleansing so "Thank You" :)
Thank you, Juliette, for doing these reactions! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your emotions. Thank you for letting us ride along and maybe give validation to the emotions that were/are/will be evoked in myself. My biological father was a prisoner of war for 4 years finally succumbing to the hard times in 1958. My step father was wounded in Bastogne and taken prisoner until the end, passing in 1997. And my own journey through military times. Thank you for staying with us, inviting us in and making our own band of brothers and sisters.
The part that really hot me was when I believe it was John Martin was laughing and pointed at the faded Airborne Tattoo he had on his Forearm. He said that him and a Buddy Got them after Normandy when they went back to Scotland. Then he stared at it and starting getting emotional, and said " Hell we lost over half our men in Normandy in a few weeks. We figured there was no way we would live through the war with those odds"
Can’t wait to watch your reactions to The Pacific miniseries :)
yeah you got that right! Leena going to his parents with the medal! total tear jerker! Great series!
It is appropriate to be brought to tears, for these are American Men who,
as President Lincoln once said, have hallowed this American Soil far beyond our power
to "add or detract". We must remember them, and never forget what they gave to us, and we also must make sacrifices, and give to this nation, what it has given to us.
As a former soldier myself I just want to say thank you, nothing else, just thank you.
Still on of the best and most epic/grand pieces of TV ever in my opinion. Just 10 episodes and it feels like a massive journey, each episode does such a good job of telling it's own story whilst progressing it overall. Plus the amount of actors in it, now mega famous is crazy.
It really is a masterclass in television. The actors all deserve their success!
I am a combat veteran ( Vietnam)and thank you for having the bravery to see this through . Anyone can see you have a good and pure heart GOD BLESS YOU
I was getting weepy right there with ya when they interviewed the old gentlemen.
The "old gentlemen", are the actual men, and their lives during WWII, the movie portrayed. BoB is a documentary presented as an action movie. Nearly every moment shown, is a repeat of actual events these men saw and experienced.
Yeah, when I saw this I knew it was based on the events, and extremely accurate to them, but watching the veterans in each of the episodes I figured they were just soldiers who were part of the 101st. When it got to the ending here, and I saw they were some of the actual people being portrayed in the series, it really hit home.
I don't know how many times I've watched Band of Brothers, but this scene makes me cry every single time.
I’ve just finished watching BoB again, and that ending gets me every damn time. The baseball scene is when I start, then by the time the real soldiers are talking, especially that last sentence, I’m a bawling wreck.😭😭😭😭
As an American, thank you for your response, I had the same one.
I’ve been watching your “Band of Brothers” reactions this evening after coming across your first reaction and I absolutely love your emotional connection to the characters and their stories. It is among my all-time favorite shows and it’s always wonderful to witness newcomers to the show, even after all these years. I love your videos.
KeyboardJunkie Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I do reactions for people precisely like you.
I've had the pleasure of knowing many of the actors and family members of the real men and lucky enough to count them very much as friends. They would be honoured that even so far on from the original filming that people are still learning about these men and getting as emotionally connected as you do.
One of the finest tv series ever made. Man i seen it so many times but it still gets me after all these years.
I've seen this tv show more times than I can remember, what a masterpiece.
Yes this TV show makes you cry, there was a few parts that were emotional to watch and one of the ones for me was when Richard Winters received his Oak Leaves from Nixon, as Winters opens the box, he's so humble and he is a real hero.
I hope you learned that freedom comes with a heavy cost...my grandfather served on the USS INDIANAPOLIS, had it not been for a single photograph of him in uniform I'd have never known. I had other uncles and cousins who served in Korea and Vietnam. Myself I served 23 years in US Marines, from Beirut, Panama, Desert Storm, Somalia and Afghanistan, retiring in 2005 after being wounded. Like them, not a day goes by that I don't think about the men I served with and pray for them and their families. There are really no winners and no losers in war, only survivors...and every survivor is a casualty, sometimes you just can't see all of the scars...
Major Winters Passed away in 2011 but was a role model of mine since the first time I saw the series.
The series BOB was a very educational one but let us not forget this series was about Easy Company. There were hundreds if not a few thousand other companies from all branches of the military that fought in that terrible war as well and they all deserve to be recognized. What a horrible shame that we are loosing thousands of WWII and Korean War Vets daily and before long there will be none so whenever we see a Vet lets show and tell them how much their sacrifices are appreciated. GOD BLESS ALL VETS.
What kills me, and it is not fair, is to think of all the men who died like lieutenant Meehan and his stick, killed before even reaching their intended landing zone. They had no chance to be remembered for any exploits on the battlefield, like their rest. 😠😪
Oh god, I was crying watching you crying. The part with Winters quoting Mike Rainey always gets me too. On the Airborne Dday monument in Normandy that depicts Winters likeness (which Ive seen in person) , there is a quote under which has always inspired me and I think sums up who Winters was as a man. "Wars do not make men great, but they do bring out greatness is good men". It made me weep when I read it. I brought my trombone with me and played the band of brothers theme by the memorial later that day after everyone had mostly cleared out. Men like this come around very seldom in history, let alone during the 20th century.
I just discovered your reaction videos and let me tell you, that final sequnce in the series the THE most powerful and emotional thing that to this day I still cannot watch this without tearing up. The heart and soul put into the production of this series does so much justice and honor to those men that I have yet to see another series or movie match it.
It's a warm feeling knowing and seeing a young lady show such emotion towards and interest in people who fought for our country. May you fully enjoy the freedoms these men and women fought and died for, for all of us. Bless you dear..
That being said. you looked beautiful when you cried, a sense of genuine care for these hero's of old. was on fun display, for that you've earned my sub. and like
HI Juliette, I watched BoB years ago when it came out, I frequently watch episodes still from it. I recently commented to you about how my father and mother served in WW2 in the navy. Watching you go through this makes me proud of you that you took the time to see and experience what they went through. I recommend you watch Hacksaw Ridge, the true and very accurate movie of Desmond Doss who won the medal of honor for his life saving as a medic in the pacific war against the Japanese. He wouldn't carry a gun, but he went in to save lives and many men were saved because of his incredible actions and faith in God to protect him. I wish you the very best in life. - Dan
Juliette, your emotions say it all: Thanks, appreciation, gratefulness, tenderness, compassion, understanding and love. These were great men. God bless our Vets.
It lifts my heart seeing young people recognizing the amazing sacrifices that have been made on our behalf.
A very heartfelt reaction, ma'am. Thanks for sharing.
After 20 years I still cannot manage this finale with no tears.
I always start tearing up when he says Perconte went on to become a mailman..
It's such an iconic peaceful nice-guy job for such an iconic gritty tough-guy soldier..
funkEfresh That got me too. Such a humble job despite the things he'd done and seen. Wouldn't be surprised if the peaceful nature of it was a comfort.
funkEfresh Frank Perconte wasn’t even due to be a big part in the series.
James Madio (The Actor who played him) impressed Tom Hanks so much that they gave him more focus.
Smart of him though, he was able to get two pensions 👍
Also a tough gig for a guy who got shot in the ass.
Just want to say thank you for doing this. Wish more people would react to this but you will always be the first.
This should be shown to all kids starting in about the 6th grade. What happened to our country ? My favorite series or show of all time.
My dad went to Coughlin HS in Wilkes-Barre, PA in the mid 60s. Harry Welsh was his assistant principal.
Your smile says everything when it was revealed that that old man was Winters. You could tell on that weathered aged face that he kept his promise, to spend the rest of his life in peace.
Best series ever watched over and over again puts life into perspective ....currahee
I don't know if it gets dusty suddenly or if someone starts peeling onions, but my eyes get a bit watery too when I watch this.
PaddyInf Nice Melchett display picture 😉
Juliette Reacts He's my hero.
God bless you. I felt every thought. Very touching - 🙏
Just found this channel today and watched several of the B of B videos. In many ways a unique, strange experience - revisiting these often brutal episodes through the eyes of such a tender-hearted young woman. Somehow, both a sad and lovely thing.
EdD5 Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you found me.
Juliette, you are truly a Lovely person. There many people from that time (Like easy Company) that can say they made a difference, and have backed up by documents and memories. Off the top of my head, Look up Sir Peter Gretton and his training of the Fortilla that Escorted ONS 5. The battle that changed to course of the Battle for the atlantic. There is a Book out Called "Black May" a very insightful look into that time and the People who were there.
Your sensitivity is so beautiful. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing.
I really enjoyed your reaction videos. You are very genuine and I like that you as a younger person was taking such an interest in the war and asking all the right questions. Very well done.
My favorite was when you see the the interviewed veterans named revealed. Really shows you that these guys did get to enjoy what was left of their lives. Lives free of war and horror, finally peace and prosperity. I know not many are still with us in 2019, but these men will always remain in my heart for the laughs, tears of both joy and sorrow that their incredible story has brought me. This series will always remain as the greatest media representation of the Second World War and their story shall forever live on as we journeyed with them through their war.
The casting in this series was amazing. They really got actors who resembled their real life counterparts.
Excellent, I've watched it a few times. What a brilliant production. Yes, quite an emotional last scene.
Very brave men.
Been a few years since ive seen the series but youtube brought me here. I still started shedding tears watching her shed tears and it isnt fresh in my head. Major winters always gets me with that quote.
Thanks for these videos. It was really interesting to watch this series again through British eyes.
The greatest generation. “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother”.
It's been great watching your reactions and looking forward to your next ones.
Great series. I worked with men like this on the Post Office in the early 80's who had been at war. One I knew who had fought with the British Paratroopers at Arnhem I was on a split shift with and when a Bridge Too Far was on at the cinema nearby, I asked him if he wanted to go see it with me, to which he replied, "no thanks lad, I saw it live".
Thank you for sharing this. It brings me no small amount of joy knowing that there are people in my generation who still cherish the memory of these brave men.
I've watched this series so many times and I still bawl my eyes out at the end. Every time.
Their story will live on in history, in memories, and the stories that was passed down. As of late last year there is now less than 10 of the original 101st airborne Easy Company soldiers still alive today. Not only that just any WWII veteran. The ones that are still alive are in their 80s-90s. That is why very time I see a veteran mainly the older veterans I thank them for their service. War is never a good thing but I am deeply grateful for the men and women who fight for our freedom. To any army soldiers and veterans that sees my comment I am deeply thankful for your service and I salute you.
Just beautiful. I've watched the series multiple times. Cry every time during this final scene.
2 years on and I still cry watching your Band of Brothers reaction videos. Wonderful x
My reaction too. When he said " my friend Lou died in 1995" I absolutely fell apart.
I am so gland that a Young person like yourself ( a "Yout" Lol) can appreciate the "Courage & Valour" it took for these boys from across America that became Men, and helped win WWll.
They were the Greatest Generation and we will sadly Never see a unity in America like that again !!! Just look at today !
My Father served in the Patton's 3rd Army, Infantry he made it and lived to 2003' and died at 79'. My war in the Gulf in Iraq that year, as a Marine and our forces took Baghdad and we one at that point (please no trolls on that !) I got to call him weeks later and he watched it all on TV, and he was relieved I was safe !! : )
We still had lots to do in Iraq and I would get back to the States for another 3+ months...
My Dad died two weeks after we talked on the phone, but he was happy for me/us etc, I never got to see him again but he saw our Victory at that time. : )
Big Hugs out to you Juliette !! our a Sweetheart and thank you for your emotions !!!
I which more of our youth were like you !! Sgt, Semper Fi
ua-cam.com/video/5-SdQilQvEI/v-deo.html
Excellent series! I had my wife watch BoB with me and believe me your emotions during this journey echoes hers exactly. I watch it continuously but 1 go around for her...she can't take the sadness. I try to look through the horror of it all and see the selfless acts and heroism of a group of men literally banding together. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
I watched this series with my 2 sons. My father was a paratrooper, and I was an Airborne qualified Marine. My oldest became a Marine. I wanted them to know what freedom costs. I am glad that you watched the series, and I am happy that it moved you.
Watch Generation Kill, lose 40 lbs, and join the Marine Corps. In the 1960s and 1970s, vets, Marines, and soldiers were despised and spit on.. I still feel awkward when someone says, "Thank you for your service ". The Korean and VietNam veterans never received that!
If you really are moved, walk through a VA hospital. Work with Wounded Warriors. Talk to those vets. Learn their stories.
Every time I watch this with my family- I almost always get teary-eyed whenever we saw the concentration camps, and the part that would fill me with the most nostalgia is the speech the german general gave to his troops, and then the part where he said,
" No.. but I served in a company of heroes." I love this documentary!! we few, we happy few- we band of brothers!!
What a large amount of emotion you are displaying for our WW2 Veterans Band of Brothers. You are a Patriot!
what a beautiful and genuine reaction! thanks for sharing!
Promised myself I wouldn't cry - damn those onion cutting ninjas :(
