Paul’s recollection of the details of combat he was involved with over 55 years ago is astounding. He remembers the names of everyone in his platoon, as well as when and where soldiers were killed in action.

As I write this, Paul and other 95ers are on a trip similar to the one featured in the documentary, this time honoring the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Metz, France from Nazi occupation by the 95th Infantry Division. Near the end of this clip, Paul makes a simple statement regarding “the waste and the potential of people” lost during the war that I find particularly poignant and powerful, especially when you look at all the youthful faces in the Company A photo he refers to, and know that many of those young men sacrificed their lives shortly after the photo was taken.
