Yes I do remember that scene very much. Great acting by both Henry Fonda and James Caan, playing Staff Sergeant Eddie Dohun.

It is just amazing what Cornelius Ryan was able to come up with. Of course he had the advantage of time, meaning he started all his research not that long after the war, but still to come up with all these stories, is amazing. Both The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far are classics. I wonder why they never made The Last Battle into a movie. That was an amazing read too.

Thanks for the info on Dohun after the war. Always fascinated to hear what these people were up to after the WW2. You don't have HIS address by any change, do you?
