What are your favorite Band of Brothers scenes?

Been watching it again after breaking out the DVD's on memorial day and enjoying the heck out of it again.
There are a ton of scenes I love but some of my favorites are:
1- The scene while they're watching the movie and Luz keeps quoting it out loud - "Got a Penny". Just seems to capture the camaraderie and tension of the unit at the same time.
2- The scene with Roe and the Belgian nurse sitting on the bench and he comments on her hands and they're both thinking how painful it is to bring aid and comfort to others in such pain and anguish. (I know it's not really certain whether those two ever even met but that doesn't diminish the power of the scene for me).
3- The Brecourt Manor battle. Kind of encapsulates a lot of the themes of the show in one scene - Winter's leadership, the men's dedication (Popeye apologizing for getting shot), Speirs' ultra aggressiveness and fearlessness. And the ability and competence of the company in being able to accomplish that task.

The drop scene. Amidst all the invasion scenes on the beaches portrayed over time, I think we tend to gloss over just how perilous it was to jump out of an airplane into occupied territory.

When they discover the concentration camps

This and the attack on the dyke in Holland. Easily the two best scenes in a great series.

Takeoff scene

I would say the invasion scene
But one that hit me was when one of the men was telling the story of a kid who hung himself because he couldn't go to war. Different times...

"We salute the rank, not the man."
And Speirs to Blithe: "You hid in that ditch becuse you think there's still hope - but Blithe, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldiers' supposed to function."

the freeing of the Holocaust camp gets me every time

There are so many. I watched the series again when it aired on last week.
I was moved by the speech that the German general gave to his troops.
The concentration camp scene had me in tears, especially when one of the prisoners comes out of his hut and salutes Malarkey and Malarkey salutes back. And when one prisoner just comes up to an American soldier and hugs him. If I live to be a thousand I will never understand how human beings did those things to other human beings.

Too many to choose from. Episodes 1&2 are some of the best tv ever made
