re: What Was On The Minds of Those 17, 18 and 19-year-old Boys, 75 years ago?

I'm always in AWE of the first 20 minutes of saving private ryan. I remember when the movie came out many of the d-day vets who watched the movie became visibly shaken because the sounds and visuals took them back to that fateful day. They have said that is the most accurate, faithful recreation of what it was like on the beach that day.
