Band of Brothers St. Crispin's Day

 

  

Choices we make

I loved the nobility and passion of Henry V/Kenneth Branagh’s rousing speech in which he extols his men to remember that battle on St. Crispin’s Day.  Band of Brothers…reminding them how dear this relationship would always be.  Still gives me goosebumps.

 

Standing up, brave and sure, this bold army chronicled Henry V leadership for his short reign of about 9 years. Henry V is the unique king in that he invaded and beat France twice, during the 100 year war.

That given, I know absolutely nothing about the violent history of bloody English wars, or any European war in the 1400s - ? Was any battle EVER dry of blood? Not that I know of, blood and body pieces are the essence of war.

Even here, these band of brothers, will hold on to their comrades and their courage.Just words say it all.
