Great Episode Especially for Memorial Day
by nanckou2021-05-31
10/10

"Even though this episode was originally aired in October it was shown on StartTV on Memorial Day 2021, an apparent coincidence because it happened to be in the regular episodic order. But it deserves an annual viewing on this day because it is a wonderful reminder of the sacrifice our military has made for us in times of war, no matter how difficult it was and how scared they must have been. Their heroism must never be forgotten...."

💡 Did You Know?

The American soldiers were assigned to the 29th Infantry Division. The 29th was a Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and District of Columbia National Guard unit that had been inducted into federal service on February 3, 1941. One of the three regiments of this division stormed Omaha Beach, France, on D-Day, on June 6, 1944, and suffered heavy losses under adverse surf conditions and concentrated fire from the German positions on the high bluffs.
