I grew up in Bedford. And I still live here. My grandparents use to tell us stories about how all the town people came together and helped one another during those dark times. Bedford is still the kinda town where everyone knows everyone.
Been living in Bedford County Va for over 25 year. Lot of history from the civil war to any recent war. Veterans all over this town. And we salute you!!!
I was just a little girl back then, but I know how all the people in your town felt. We lost our beloved cousin in tha t war. I have never forgotten his sacrifice. Thank you Bedford for this moving documentary. It truly brought tears to my heart. God bless the boys of Bedford.
Thank you for posting this, stumbled upon it by accident and it's an emotional documentary. The debt owed to the Bedford Boys and others is immeasurable. It enabled people like me to be born into safe communities. I have lived in Ivybridge for the best part of 40 years and the Bedford Boys are still remembered here by way of a small memorial by the River Erme and benches in MacAndrews Field (part of the Uphill Camp were the Bedford Boys lived in their Nissen huts). It's right and proper that as townsfolk we still honour the bravery of these soldiers each year on November 11th. Thank you from an Ivybridge lad to the whole town of Bedford, Virginia. Your sacrifices were our future, and remain so to this day.
I was honored to care for Ivylyn and Ralph Hardy during their final years. They were both very fine people. She would talk about John sometimes, and how much she loved him still.
On D-Day my father's landing craft was sunk at Omaha beach and he had to return the following day with others who had been rescued. He was wounded outside St. Lo and returned home...a survivor who rarely spoke of his service. My sister learned more years after his death from Roy Stevens than he had ever said himself. My mother (also from Bedford) served by working at a munitions plant in Ohio. That day left a permanent mark on the town and those who lived there.
Truly touching and heartbreaking,it's made me reflect on the small town I was raised in.Most men and also women ,though not as numerous, never came back to continue living the lives they left behind.I'm a senior now and many of those I new have passed on.Growing old is not enjoyable but at least I'm getting that opportunity whereas those soldiers didn't !! I ask myself is it better to die young and not know what growing old is like or rather live long to see the life you once had disappear?My answer,still thinking about that,great to know grandchildren and all that.So,this documentary triggered strong memories,of which,is sure to affect those who view this video in all types of ways.I end to say,"We are but spiritual beings having a human experience"....................have a great day folks !!
I have been to this museum twice now and it has been incredible each time. They plan on adding an amphitheater as well as building an indoor museum so they can put a lot of their artifacts on display. I'm not sure when that will be done but hopefully in the next year or so.
Im just back from D Day 2018 in Normandy. I went and found ALL 8 of the Bedford Boys Graves in Omaha Beach Cemetery and the 2 names on the wall of the Missing. I walked on the beach D Day morning and found the hidden German Bunker up on the bluffs
Moving vid; I was a tiny sprog in WWII, & saw some of the 'boys' & equipment landing at Cardiff docks. The US troops were always kind to us kids. They usually handed out sweets (candy). That was where I saw my first black man. My cousin ended at Normandy - 18 years old. War is obscenity.
They are indeed aligned... they have PRIDE.... they are proud to try to live up to the path paved by the 29th. They are proud to wear the uniform of their country, proud to wear the patch of the "blue and gray".. and they also were sent into harm's way to fight a war they didn't start, but wanted desperately to finish. And by the way.... the government has ALWAYS lied to it's military. Always has, always will.
Even though I was not born in the USA, I cried for those who gave their lives to keep our freedom. I love America of the old time. Look what's happening now, we are divided and having wars from within because the enemy is like Hitler and Stalin . America is eclipsing now because of non-american president and his Mafia.

I grew up in Lynchburg, VA, there were 2 stories my Grand Pa always told me about....The Bedford Boys and Desmond Doss....he knew them all
So privileged to watch the film..and for my husband Rev.Cyril Short to meet those who made the film in honour of these brave men..thankyou.

Thank you Bedford for your sacrifice, for your young men.
As a long time residence of Bedford County I am in tears. True Heroes.

This is a story about an all-white unit in a segregated army. Are there any people of color in Bedford?
Thank y'all Bedford
