Vincent Speranza grew up on Staten Island, part of a large and colorful Italian family. Following Basic Training, he became a paratrooper and joined the 101st Airborne Division just prior to the Battle of the Bulge, where the unit became famous for its defense of Bastogne. Speranza tells of returning to Bastogne 65 years later, and of his participation in an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. to visit the new WW II Memorial in 2009.
What a great humble man…
Vince, I thank you so much for the freedom you have given us. And thank you for sharing your story. Truly an American hero from the greatest generation.
Early last year I wrote to Mr Speranza and he sent me a personalized autographed copy of his book. He has since passed on, but I will cherish that book for the rest of my life. Thank you for your service, Vince, you badass! 🇺🇸
I just learned about this man and I’m sad he passed and so recently
You deserve every accolade awarded to you sir. The world owes you a great debt. A giant amongst men.
Hero’s all of them 👍🇬🇧
58:10 ... You take your helmet out. he's basically saying that he pissed in his helmet , and after that he would put it back on , fucking legend. I just bought his book called NUTS! he is a great story teller
Such a great sit down with a man who is will and able to talk about his experiences, in the hope that the world does not travel that road again.
thank you for posting this, such an amazing man with an amazing life story. not to mention he's the best story teller of WWII of ever heard. of actually been searching for videos on TH-cam for any of the Bastogne reunions or any kind of documentaries of new age Bastogne and the way the treat and respect the 101st and there history there.
Thank you for sharing Vince Speranza's experiences during WW2! Surely there was a lot of divine intervention by God on behalf of America and our Allies.
One of our Greatest Generation Heroes!
We failed these men.
The audio is almost a whole minute out of sync 😢
IS VINCE STILL WITH US ,
The opposite of a liberal democrat
Always someone who has to throw a wet rag on something and bring in politics when politics has _nothing_ whatsoever to do with this brave and humble man.
