00:01.330 --> 00:03.500
Today we went on a historic March of

00:03.509 --> 00:06.690
PICO view where over 90 paratroopers

00:06.699 --> 00:09.550
from the 82nd joined the local French

00:09.560 --> 00:12.199
people on a tour that was given by the

00:12.210 --> 00:15.989
Association PICO . And they , we had a

00:16.000 --> 00:18.167
few stops where they were able to tell

00:18.167 --> 00:19.944
us the different battles on the

00:19.944 --> 00:22.000
different roadways and the buildings

00:22.000 --> 00:23.889
and in the area . And I think the

00:23.889 --> 00:26.056
important of it is not only do we wear

00:26.056 --> 00:25.340
the patch , but now we're kind of

00:25.350 --> 00:27.517
understanding , you know , the history

00:27.517 --> 00:29.406
behind all of it , there's a huge

00:29.406 --> 00:31.406
difference in reading it in books ,

00:31.406 --> 00:33.628
seeing it on TV . But actually being in

00:33.628 --> 00:35.683
the same footprint as those who were

00:35.683 --> 00:39.479
here about in 1944 it's more meaningful

00:39.490 --> 00:41.601
and it makes us a lot more grateful ,

00:41.601 --> 00:43.768
you know , for us wearing this patch .

00:43.768 --> 00:47.330
And the Legacy two number is

00:47.340 --> 00:49.507
very impactful . Just knowing that I'm

00:49.507 --> 00:51.759
walking where the greatest generation

00:51.770 --> 00:54.900
walked before , just seeing the scenery ,

00:54.909 --> 00:58.869
seeing . And just knowing that I'm

00:58.880 --> 01:01.099
where people have fought before and

01:01.110 --> 01:03.110
just knowing I'm in the presence of

01:03.110 --> 01:06.569
that is a really big deal , a huge

01:06.580 --> 01:08.691
honor to me after being here . It's a

01:08.691 --> 01:11.309
really big eye opener . The respect we

01:11.319 --> 01:14.379
have being in the 82nd and how much of

01:14.389 --> 01:16.690
an honor it is . After being here , I

01:16.699 --> 01:18.755
would love to share my experience to

01:18.755 --> 01:21.419
others and tell them like you're in one

01:21.430 --> 01:23.760
of the greatest units and the world .
