This should be shown in every high school history class. This man is knowledgeable and entertaining plus he has a message that seems to be missing these days.
As a fellow Italian American I can not be more proud of your service,thank you for our freedom! My grandad was in World War One and my father in law World War Two, you are truly the greatest generation!
🇺🇸🇺🇸Thank you so much for your service. I have my grandpa’s U.S. Army hat with me and his triangular American flag with me that was folded at his funeral. You have the exact same hat that my grandpa put on!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow... when he talks about bringing friends over for dinner and his mom asked about how many made it back and he was the only one; I can’t imagine the pain. This generation was something else and unfortunately most of them are gone
Sir i will go to battle with you anywhere anytime!!! Respect from Romania!!! I pray God will give you a good place in heaven to drink your famous beer and to tell your wonderful stories!
Thank you Vinny. It's 12:09 the day after Veteran's Day. I stayed up to watch this. God bless you and your family. AMERICA WAS MADE BY YOU....and I'm so scared we're losing Her.
These are the guys we should pay the multi million dollar checks too these are the one that we should call celebrities the ones we should grow up wanting to be like...
I can't believe they put a time limit on this gentleman when his own time on this earth is limited. All the riches in this world won't be able to buy us the possibility to hear him speak again once he passes.
I hope one day Vincent reads this and knows he is one of my few hero's, He held his head high while the whole world was sinking into the mud and the blood. You inspire me to be a better man and thank you for leading the way AIRBORN RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
Amazing love hearing this guy speak. God bless these men. Gave so much at such a young age for this country. I salute you sir. God bless. God bless America.
Thank you for your service and sacrifices for freedom against a hostile threat to our nation and our freedoms. All we have is because of your sacrifices for us and future generations.
I am so thankful to Almighty God for using men like Paratrooper Vince Speranza to fight in WWII for not just keeping America free, but to liberate many of the World's Humanities from tyranny and oppression. Truly America and the Allies didn't go there to conquer; but to Liberate! May God bless our still living WW2 Veterans. May those that have passed on rest in peace!❤🙏🪖
Thank you for your service. R.I.P. .Hero ..what a great story teller you were. Sad we are losing these men . But it’s good to have their stories on record like this
God hearing him speak reminds me of my Grandfather talking about his brother who served during the opening stages of ww2 in the asian theater. it made me smile tbh.
These fellas from the 101st were all such good storytellers. I imagine you get that way when people have been asking you questions about the war for so many decades. good video.
The most valuable information is "my family came here with nothing" like thousands of people that come here everyday. If you concentrate on the few folks that are not good people instead of the people that want to come here for a better life. His parents didn't speak English but it didn't keep them from being good Americans!
I love this guy Vince Speranza. I would love to meet him and shake his hand one day. US Navy SEAL Retired Lt Commander Jocko Willing who owns Victory MMA in San Diego, CA and has the Jocko podcast told me if I can contact Vince Speranza that he would fly Vince to San Diego, CA and put him in a hotel all expenses paid and bring Vince on his podcast. So if anyone knows how to contact Vince please do so and you can call Victory MMA in San Diego, CA and leave a message for Jocko
Hi John, Vincent is incredible, and I'm sure he would be willing to take Jocko up on his offer. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to contact him. Best of luck!
1:00 "Pay ATTENTION!" 2:04 "1941" 2:48 "we we're outraged"(like 911)... 3:45 "we we're deathly afraid that we we're not going to get to ukraine!" 4:10 Finally 5:30 family... Don't shame the family... 7:00 "qualified" fort Benning. 8:30 view from the ground. Edit (hold for logic/evidence)
OMG!!! Why didn't I know about this??? Me, the Military Services Acct Mgr??? and military historian??? Which office was this presentation done at??? My uncle on my mom's side served with Vince during WWII, exact same unit. It would have been so awesome to have been able to sit down and talk with him!! If you ever have him back, if he's still alive, I need to know about this!!! Bill
Dislikes are probably 50 cent army, the ccp internet trolls do everything they can to disparage patriotism and democracy. And the thing is regular Chinese citizens are denied access to youtube and other social media. The ccp uses our freedom against us, so don't get sucked in when you read a remark trashing America, it's likely a ccp government worker who gets paid for every reply.
😭❤😭God bless the people of Bastogne for embracing the 101st 😭❤😭
This should be shown in every high school history class. This man is knowledgeable and entertaining plus he has a message that seems to be missing these days.
Amen
"dont do anything to shame the family" proceeds to be 1 of the most legendary Americans in history
As a fellow Italian American I can not be more proud of your service,thank you for our freedom! My grandad was in World War One and my father in law World War Two, you are truly the greatest generation!
Loved this! it was an honor to meet this gentleman and get his book. Thank you for your service, Mr. Speranza. We at QTC loved having you.
Bring on!!! The Airborne Beer…!!! What a Great Gini…!!! I’m glad to a Italian American and a Military Brat that this gentleman served our country…!!!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸Thank you so much for your service. I have my grandpa’s U.S. Army hat with me and his triangular American flag with me that was folded at his funeral. You have the exact same hat that my grandpa put on!🇺🇸🇺🇸
This man is a true American gem. I follow him every few weeks and I pray there's a new video on TH-cam
The man is a legend who's doing everything while he still can for us.
I met him in 2015 when my unit put on a military ball. It was an honor to sing with him blood on the risers.
Cool this is the first
RIP legend
I love listening to wwii vets it always reminds me of when my great grandfather told me stories about his time on the San Diego.
RIP Poppy
Wow... when he talks about bringing friends over for dinner and his mom asked about how many made it back and he was the only one; I can’t imagine the pain. This generation was something else and unfortunately most of them are gone
Sir i will go to battle with you anywhere anytime!!! Respect from Romania!!! I pray God will give you a good place in heaven to drink your famous beer and to tell your wonderful stories!
Thank you Vinny. It's 12:09 the day after Veteran's Day. I stayed up to watch this. God bless you and your family. AMERICA WAS MADE BY YOU....and I'm so scared we're losing Her.
He reminds me of my father who was a pilot in USAAF. This gentleman is a real class act. A real New Yorker as is yours truly.
These are the guys we should pay the multi million dollar checks too these are the one that we should call celebrities the ones we should grow up wanting to be like...
Beautiful done, I think Vince will love this.
With my greatest respects sir - from a vet. I was only cold war - nothing like what you faced.
Never discount your service. We all fought, just against different hells. A mental battle can be just as powerful as a physical.
I can't believe they put a time limit on this gentleman when his own time on this earth is limited. All the riches in this world won't be able to buy us the possibility to hear him speak again once he passes.
That's why it's important to get these stories on video for generations to come to be able to understand what happened back then
Amazing, needs to be seen more
st.michael bless this man for his service and may he have great health in the future
I hope one day Vincent reads this and knows he is one of my few hero's, He held his head high while the whole world was sinking into the mud and the blood. You inspire me to be a better man and thank you for leading the way AIRBORN RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
Geez,,,92 and he's still all up there!
Great to hear from this man on the events that he lived through and his story is also very good words of wisdom and historical fact.
Amazing love hearing this guy speak. God bless these men. Gave so much at such a young age for this country. I salute you sir. God bless. God bless America.
I find this quite intriguing. Much respect and thank U for your Service.
What an absolute great story from a true American Hero...
“My father believed in equal gender deployment.” This guy could have killed it in stand-up. Very well could have been Seinfield’s dad.
thank you for posting, this man is a legend, I am a better man for having heard and listened to him, thank you
Thank you for your service and sacrifices for freedom against a hostile threat to our nation and our freedoms. All we have is because of your sacrifices for us and future generations.
Thanks for actually mentioning the Canadians.
Thank you Canada...
He should have been mother freaking President
Thank you Sir. Absolute legend. God bless you and your family.
I am saying the same 😎

What a great character with a great story.
So very young were those Men..
The last of a breed..
He got me good, with the story of his group of 18, I was laughing at that, untill he says none of those boys made it back....
This video is special. Truly beautiful and it changed my perspective
This man and his comrades should have they’re own section in every history book that’s ever made
49:00 was a good quote
These fellas from the 101st were all such good storytellers. I imagine you get that way when people have been asking you questions about the war for so many decades. good video.
Salute to a legend o7
Thank you Mr Vincent
Rip sir ❤
That is one lucky man. His battle buddies weren't so lucky. We must never repeat world war two.
Rest in Peace my friend
Happy Birthday Vincent 🇺🇲 march 23
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE.
who the hell disliked this video?! this is awesome!!
Outstanding!
I like Belgium even more now. I must visit some one day.
"it's been 10 minutes 10 minutes ago."
THANK YOU Sir !!!
Incredible
The most valuable information is "my family came here with nothing" like thousands of people that come here everyday. If you concentrate on the few folks that are not good people instead of the people that want to come here for a better life. His parents didn't speak English but it didn't keep them from being good Americans!
I hope we will become World War 3 veterans in the future so that we can defend our country, religion, and culture🙏
If there where to be a WW3, God forbid, there will be no winners. We will all lose.
Once you get your paratrooper wings pinned on your chest you understand why "Airborne" stands head and shoulders above the rest of the Army!
THANK YOU..... DES CREAN, BELFAST, IRELAND

Edit (hold for logic/evidence)
i have so much respect for this man, you can't count it

Genuine Hero
The worlds coolest history teacher
Make a movie about him his airborne buddys
No dislikes Just how it should be
Edit: Of course there’s dislikes now
You have to be a uncultured mother...... to do that i hope

the 2 dislikes were germans that got stuck on the fencing
Amen
Love learning about the older generation because they’re literally a living history lesson and the American Dream starting from nothing to something.
I felt bad for him when he told the story of the 18 boys. It chocked him up and I don't think he was expecting that.
Wow 19 weeks, and now it's 9 or 10 weeks in 2021 depressing how we dwindle down In the Army. We need to make the Army great again.
it’s 22 weeks
I found out he was born on March 23rd. That is my birthday as well. March 23rd, 2003 was when I was born. Much respect to Vincent J. Speranza.
👀😎 thank you sir
🤝😎😭😞
And what of the leaders that trained them….. and lead them…. That enabled 19yr olds to hold of a panzer army…🤯
After they discovered the concentration camps they didn't take any more prisoners , that was struck deep, Just ordered his book.
So we would have all been speaking German if it wasn't for the Guys, Break Glass in Case of War Guys
They don't make men like this anymore would love to get the book
